Kolo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Kolo
Age: Fifteen years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Ohio, USA
 
   His name is Kolo (supposed to "black" in Japanese, but Black in Japanese is koro.) My French neighbors called him Coca-Cola, thinking we had named him after a soft drink. The teacher we got him from had a son taking Japanese, and he goofed up the name. He is a mix, his "passport" says he is European, and he is has some European wild cat in his ancestry. He is beloved, graying, and my favorite animal of all time, He now lives in Ohio, slowing down, but still goes outside. He is a great cat, used to be a hunter, but those days are over, now squirrels taunt him. (Oh, the indignity of old age.). He sleeps and cuddles, something he never did when young. His favorite place is on radiators and by my head, on his warming cushion. He adores sunny spots and is healthily for his age. He had arthroscopic surgery on his hip when he was two, having been hit by a car. My French vet saved his life. Kudos to my vet, a genius and a animal lover. I love my Kolo.
