Coco, the Cat of the Day
Name: Coco
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Burmese
Home: Hong Kong, China
 
   Hi, my name is Coco (actually it's Tourmaline Tamara, but I don't like to brag) and I'm a registered Burmese female. I'm three years old and perfectly beautiful. I'm a gorgeous seal color with red highlights when I sit in the sun. I was born in New Zealand and moved to Hong Kong with my family when I was very small. My current human adopted me when my original family went home and didn't want me to go through six months of quarantine back in New Zealand. I didn't like the sound of that, so I'm happy to be in Hong Kong. I live on the Peak where there are lots of birds to watch through the windows and the occasional gecko to catch in the house. I don't go outside because there are lots of dogs and snakes about.

    My human is just crazy about me! She calls me Coco Puff and Puffer and all kinds of silly names. I sleep under the covers with her and get lots of cuddles. In the morning, I lick her nose and head-butt her when I want my breakfast. I share the house with two Siamese boys (Tashi and Karma) who aren't very friendly with me (they're much older), so I like to stalk them and tease them every chance I get. I only drink water from the tap and have my own special toys, including a laser light. I recently appeared in a book about Hong Kong cats called Travellers' Tails (you can see it at Moggit.com), so I'm fairly famous. All in all, I think I have a very nice life.
