Schuyler, the Cat of the Day
Name: Schuyler
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Medium Hair
Home: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
 
   Schuyler (aka The Dude) came to us as an eight-week-old kitten along with his half-sister. From the very beginning, he exhibited exceptional charm. A chatty guy, he's happy to interact with everyone he meets. Nobody's a stranger to Schuyler. He's the most laid-back cat I've ever come across. In all his life, I've never heard him hiss or growl. (He does snore.)

    Extremely good with his paws, he'll give high fives for a treat. The Dude has learned how to open doors and drawers to get at catnip and the treats, which he shares with his brothers and sisters. He has taught all the other cats to open shutters and operate the treat ball. He's always up for a snack and will happily share as long as he gets the lion's portion.

    His favorite toy is a laser pen. He'd chase that little beam of light all day. The bathtub is a place The Dude loves. He cries until the tap is turned quickly on and off ,although it disturbs him if the water is left on for any length of time. For reasons that escape me, he needs to rub his face on and pat at every lamp shade in the house. More lamps are knocked over that way. He also likes to knock all the spare change off my son's chest of drawers, as well as anything else that's up there.

    The Dude exfoliates my face daily. He's a cuddly and affectionate guy who adores being picked up and handled. He'll share a lap or a bed with any or all of the other cats in the family and is always obliging when others want to play.

    I can't imagine life without The Dude.
