My cat’s name is Winky. I named him Winky because he winks a lot. I got him when he was just about 6 weeks old. My cousin found him living in a campground and she brought him home and gave him to me for my birthday.
He was full of fleas, ear mites, worms, etc. You name it, he had it. But as soon as I got him I took care of him, took him to the vet, and he was all better. He is black and gray with crazy stripes.
The vet said he had very unique stripes. He was full of energy and loved to play and chase things. He liked to lay on is back on my legs while I rubbed his tummy. Sometimes he acts like a dog, because if you throw a bouncy ball, he would chase after it and bring it back in his mouth.
He would eat funny foods like peas, oranges, and other people food. He is about 6 years old now. He is huge now, very long and wide, but not really fat, he is just built big. Now that he is older he is lazy, but is very needy for attention.
He likes to go outside, but when as soon as he gets out the door he rolls around on the concrete. When other cats come around he gets scared and starts hissing like any other normal cat.
When I brought home another cat he hid on top of the refrigerator until he felt comfortable enough with the other cat. Now they get along fine and chase each other all day long. He loves to be combed.
He is a very lovable cat and loves to sleep with me every night. He lets you know when is food or water bowl is empty. If he hears the back of cat treats or hears a can of food being opened, no matter how far away he is, he comes running in and meows because he knows its coming. I love my cat.
