Meet the August 2007 Cat of the Month Photo Contest Winners

August 2007 Cat Connection Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by The Cat Connection Shop Cats


Owner: Lauren Silvey
Cat's Name: Cooper
Breed: Domestic Shirt Hair
Age: 5 months old

About the Winner:
Here is what the owner has to say about her incredible kitty, Cooper.

“We just lost one of our cats to lymphoma in January and needed someone to get us back on our feet again so we decided to get another kitten. His name him Cooper and looks just like our previous cat, and oddly enough, even acts like him.

There is really only one word to describe Cooper, WILD. It seems as if all he wants to do is chase our other cats or attack something. We bought him a laser pointer and the moment we took it out of the package he loved it. He chases the dot all around the house and jumps on the walls. He really never stops.

Cooper loves to be in which ever room we're in, no matter what. Cooper has grown into quite the cuddler. He loves to be next to us wherever we might be. Cooper is a great cat we love him more and more each and every day.”

Congratulations Cooper!

August 2007 Cat Connection Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by the On-Line Poll Participants


Owner: Brenda Shields
Cat's Names: Opal
Breed: Highland Lynx
Age: 11 months old

About the Winner:
Here is what the owner has to say about thier wonderful kitty, Opal.

"Opal is a Highland Lynx (an exotic feline cross between a desert lynx and a jungle curl). She is also a polydactyl as you may have noticed her extra toe on each of the front paws. She has the curled ears and a stub tail. Opal is almost a year old and was born on our anniversary (October 17, 2006). She will continue to grow for another year or two. She doesn't meow very much but loves to play with rubber balls and furry mice. When playing outside she adores catching grasshoppers and bringing them to my window. She also hooks her dry food with her paw and brings it to her mouth and follows my husband around everywhere outside just like a puppy. Opal is full of energy and is certainly a treasured addition to our family! "

Congratulations Opal!
