Timon, the Cat of the Day
Name: Timon
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Memphis, Tennessee, USA
 
   Timon is a survivor. I rescued him when he was only five or six weeks old, he was the last of his litter. All the others had disappeared and were probably dead, the mother cat was a young female that did little to care for them. I took him home and weaned him and by the end of the first week he was sleeping on my shoulder and purring. He has trusted me ever since.

    His companion is Tucker, a grey tabby, they keep each other busy during the day when I am working. They are both house cats but the picture above depicts a rare time when they lived in California in with a back yard that was kitty safe. This is the first time Timon had climbed real tree.

    He is a fetcher and brings me his toys when he is ready to play. He also growls when ever strangers come to my front door, a nice alarm system. He looks after me when I sick and sleeps next to me at night. Both are always eager to see me in when I return in the evening and Timon follows me around the house to "supervise" all that I do. I have had many cats in my life, but this guy is a special one, his personality is so unique and even though I will have cats later in life I know he will never be replaced in my heart. Okay...now I will go home tonight and give him an extra special hug.
