Peanut, the Cat of the Day
Name: Peanut
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Kitty Cat
Home: Vancouver, Washington, USA
 
   Peanut is a very special guy. He was found in a shipyard along with his brother at about four weeks old covered in oil and very grumpy! It's not easy being born in a boat. He has since grown up into the most adorable, sweet, comedic cat you have ever seen. Peanut has the best sense of humor in the world. He brings a smile to everyone's face every day.

    Peanut is an indoor kitty only so he spends an awful lot of time with us and our other cats. We have three. I am sort of a cat fanatic but find it funny that all three of my guys were once orphans. I am convinced that cats communicate to each other and let the "lost" ones know who the suckers are. I can just see it ... turn left there to the grey house ... she'll take you in with one meow. :-)

    As I said before Peanut was found with his brother in a small covered boat in a shipyard. Kind of a canoe type boat. The two were about four weeks old when we found them and in messy shape. Covered in oil and not very friendly at all.

    My boyfriend and I must have been the first humans they came into contact with. It took about a week of convincing them that we were all right folk. Then the two happily slept on our bed with us. Peanuts brother is named 'Porter' and lives with my dad in Redding, CA. Peanut is about three now but you would never know that. He hasn't quite made it out of the kitten phase. Life is one big game. He does play tag with me as a favorite game. I chase him and then he chases me. We can do this all over the house until were both exhausted. Of course he does this with out other cats too. Butter is my female and they are the best of friends. Cruiser is my oldest male and Peanut is kind of like his annoying little brother. No matter how much Cruiser tries to explain to Peanut that he just is an independent guy, Peanut still tries to finagle him into a game of chase. Peanut most often loses to the older Cruiser.

    Peanut is a lover...always in search of a lap to sit on. I always know where he is as he does not like to be far away from anyone for very long. If I leave the bedroom to go to the living room he will be sure to follow in not much time. Peanut also likes to go for car rides if you can believe it! He will sit in the front seat and when we come to a stop he will put his paws up to the passenger window to get a better look at what's out there. We have had some pretty bizarre reactions to the orange guy peering out at the car next to us. Peanut is by far the best cat I have ever had. He is full of personality and fun. He defies the rumor that cats are independent. It's just not his philosophy - he needs us and we need him so we're all pretty happy.
