When, Where and How I Got My Tuxedo

Penguin was born in my basement 13 years ago. I could not let his pregnant mother have her kittens outside. She had five kittens. One was stillborn. His mother, brother and a sister have since passed away. But, I still have Penguin and Samantha. I am very attached to these two cats! I am dreading the day that I lose them.

I'd Describe My Cat As…

Wonderful! He just wants to be loved! He jumps up on the bed whenever he wants to be petted. It is so cute! He loves his sister. They are like boyfriend and girlfriend. They groom each other and sleep next to each other. They always know where the other one is. It is great to have a best friend like this.

Penguin got his name from my son. He was sitting at the top of the stairs one day and my son thought that it was an optical illusion that there was a penguin in the house. So he has been named Penguin ever since.
