Axle, the Cat of the Day
Name: Axle
Age: Nine weeks old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Long Beach, New York, USA
 
   One day last summer, a car pulled up in front of our shop. The owner got out and went wherever he was going. Our neighbor came running into our shop telling us to come out quickly! We did, and heard some very loud screaming and hissing coming from under the car. Poor little kitten was stuck somewhere between the wheel well and the axle of the car. It took three of us about a half hour to get him out. By that time, the name Axle had stuck!

    Now he's happy and getting healthier and bigger by the day. We're not sure of his breed - he could have some Russian Blue in him from his looks, but we may never know. He had a rough start to life, but he's doing very well now and has lots of love from me, my husband and all our neighbors on the street!

    This is a picture of him in our store window, he's now the star of Rock-n-Robins Enchanted Cauldron if you are in the neighborhood. Despite his unpleasant beginnings, and difficult introduction to us, he is a friendly kitten who loves attention! He's now a year old, but was nine weeks old in this picture.
