Albie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Albie
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Ragamuffin mix
Home: South Florida, USA
 
   Albie adopted my parents early this spring. I wanted to show the world how beautiful and cute he is! He showed up skinny and pathetic and loving to help my mother with her gardening. He's obviously a house cat, and we believe he was abandoned by one of the neighbors who left town suddenly. It wasn't long until Albie talked his way into regular meals, and he is now a semi-permanent feature of their screen-house.

    We think Albie is a Ragamuffin (mix probably). He matches the description with his silky coat that never tangles, toe "tufts," ridiculous tail, and a sweet, overly tolerant temperament.

    An interesting thing about Albie is that he seems to have come from a Spanish-speaking household. We usually speak English, but have found that Albie purrs when my father calls him gatito (kitten) or bueno (good), or anything else in that language.

    He's a darling cat - follows my mother around like a little puppy, and thinks that any and all activity in the kitchen must pertain to him. His favorite toys include long skirts and dead-bird simulators. We can't imagine who would want to just boot out such a wonderful creature, but we are happy to be his new adoptive family.
