Salem, the Cat of the Day
Name: Salem
Age: Six months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Short Hair
Home: Louisville, Kentucky, USA
 
   Salem was found all alone on a rural road by my brother and his wife. He trotted right over to them when they opened the door and hopped right in. They fell for him hard (even with her allergies) However, when they took the little guy home to meet their German Shepherd, Sheba, he bloodied her nose. So they called me, and soon my sneezing and teary eyed (and not just from the allergies) sister-in-law was handing him over to me. My brother knew full well that I wouldn't say no =).

    Since then he has grown in leaps and bounds and has won over everyone who's met him. He is extremely friendly and has yet to meet a stranger. The jury is still out, however, when it comes to my other two cats, Sassy and Ozzy. With all of his energy I think he's a little much for them to handle... but they're starting to warm up to him.

    Salem's favorite activities include: Running through the house at lightning speed, playing with his many toys, aggravating Sassy and Ozzy to within an inch of his life, watching t.v., investigating and thereby spilling the contents of any glass he comes across, and general rowdiness. My husband has even taught him to fetch.

    Salem Trivia: He got this name because he looks like a little "witch-kitty" (you know, the Salem witch trials). His nicknames are "Craziness" and "Goofball". And he once got himself locked in the refrigerator and was nearly tumble-dried in the same day. I wouldn't trade him for anything, though. He's been a wonderful addition to our family. You can't help but smile with him around. I love my little Halloween Cat.
