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

Owner: Gina Leber
Name: Moses (Mo)
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Age: 13 years

About the Winner
Mo was given to my husband as a kitten 13 years ago. He is an indoor cat, but we occasionally let him into our "jungle" backyard on the river in Tampa. Here he is presenting us with a "gift", although we managed to get it away from him and set it free, unharmed.

Owner: Cara Raymond
Name: Cujo
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Age: 1 year

About the Winner
Cujo was a shelter kitty we rescued at 6 months of age. He chose us to take him home, and was the sweetest most loving cat at the shelter. Only when we got him home did we realize the extent of his trickery. He was a little devil! He ran around high speed in the middle of the night, climbed on everything he wasn't supposed to be on, chewed on my feet at night...hence the name of Cujo (a rabid St. Bernard in a Stephen King book). But he is still lovey, and once we got him a sister kitty to keep him company he has been the best cat we could ever have.

He loves to play – the laser pointer and feather toys are his favorites. He loves to wrestle with his sister and steal her wet food. He curls up with me at night to keep me warm. He also loves for me to squirt water in his mouth from the squirt bottle I tried to disipline him with. Now when ever he sees the bottle he runs over to get a drink! Oh, and he loves fake meat and dairy products like rice milk, soy cheese, and soy ham. I can't have a bowl of cereal with out him grabbing at my spoon to get my rice milk!
