November 2004 On-Line Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by Web Poll Participants

Owner: Jillian & Nathan Parks
Cat's Name: Mia
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Age: 8 Months (in photo)

About the Winner
Mia was brought into the Parks home when she was only 5 days old (she was found under a tarp with the rest of her deceased brothers and sisters, she was the only survivor). At the time of the picture she was about six months, she was about 8 months now.

Mia has become very infatuated with a feather toy that she enjoys "killing", walking around the house with, and is even beginning to fetch and retrieve it as well. Her favorite place to hang out is on Nathan's pillow. She loves to attack and lounge on his pillow, even if he is sleeping on it. She also enjoys playing in the bushes (not very gracefully Nathan mentions) in the Park's outdoor catery.

She makes many trips to the food bowl more recently and will go on resuming her many alluring positions in various and bizarre places around the house. She also loves getting her very fluffy, and lately bulging belly rubbed. Mia enjoys finding a happy place while her big brother (Jack the rat terrier) likes to nibble playfully on her head and body.

October 2004 Cat Connection Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by The Cat Connection Shop Cats

Owner: Nancy Stewart
Name: Cowboy
Breed: Mainecoon
Age: 6 Years

About the Winner
Cowboy came from Palm Beach in 1997. The Stewart Family had heard about Cowboy from a friend of the family who was looking for a Ragdoll cat and saw him around the same time. He has typical Maine Coon qualities acting more like a dog than a cat. His favorite place to sleep is on my Nancy’s husband's stomach. He also loves it when company comes to spend the night. He will very politely wake you up by gently biting you on the nose! Now there’s a wake up call! He loves all dogs and quite fearless. Cowboy will walk right up to a new dog friend to introduce himself. He has a large family including 2 corgis, 1 French Bull dog, a Munchkin cat (who is also black/white) and a Humane Society variety! Cowboy also celebrated his birthday on November 1st. Happy Birthday Cowboy!
 

October 2004 On-Line Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by Web Poll Participants

Owner: Kylee Jones
Name: Jake
Breed: Domestic Long Hair
Age: 5 Years

About the Winner
Jake first came to the Jones family in 1999. He was just a few weeks old and only weighed 2.3 lbs! Now Jake weighs a whopping 20 lbs. This big boy loves to eat. A friend of the family found him in a bush outside of her house. She already had a cat and couldn’t take in another one. She had asked Kylee’s mom if she would like to keep him, and mom said yes. At first Jake was the family cat. After having him a while, he started to sleep with Kylee at night. If you couldn’t find Jake roaming the house they knew exactly where he would be…Kylee’s bedroom! If he wasn’t lying on the bed, he was usually underneath it.

Kylee got married this past summer and when the new couple moved in together, Jake was invited to come along. There is a hunter green recliner in the family room that Jake loves to sit in. You can always find him there lounging. If you sit in his chair, he will greet your feet and meow until you get out of the chair or let him sit with you!

Jake loves playing with anything that has catnip inside of it. He is always chasing around the little catnip stuffed mice. He also likes to play with the ribbon Kyleee uses to wrap presents! Jake is a very snuggly cat. He sleeps with Kylee and her new husband every night. When they are watching TV or reading the newspaper, he will jump up and interrupt his family for a little extra love. Whenever Kylee has a bad day at work, she know that when she gets home, Jake will cheer her up.
