Cooper, the Cat of the Day
Name: Cooper

Gender: Male
Kind: Russian Blue mix
Home: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
 
   I found Cooper August 25th at 7:30pm in the industrial parking lot next door where there are never any cats. He was under a tree crying and had apparently just been "dropped off" by someone who didn't want him. He was about five months old at the time, and had probably never been alone.

    My girlfriend and I immediately took him home and he was so scared he peed down my shirt during the elevator ride. He met my other two cats Prrrl and Chloe, ate a ton of food and went to sleep. He is a terrific little guy, very funny and vocal. My other cats really like him even though he initiates playtime more than they might like. He's not a "lap cat" but will tolerate being held as he stares lovingly at me and then at the ceiling. He is fond of chewing on my wrist and licking my hand. His first word was "ernenger" but only he knows what that means!

    He loves his laser pointer, tummy rubs and chasing snacks. In the sunlight his coat is a shimmering sliver-blue, his eyes are amber on the outside and green in the middle. He has tufts of hair between his toes and little tufts on the tips of his ears. Why anyone could abandon such a sweet little fellow remains a mystery.

    Needless to say he is very popular with everyone he meets. The first photo is Cooper the day after his rescue, you can see the intensity in his face. He is really happy to be here in my studio and is quite the character. Coop remains the sweetest li'l man.
