Cat Photo Of The Day - Hamster Cat

Here's a familiar face! It's Hammie, also known as Hamster Cat - which is where he got the nickname Hammie. See, he has a very short tail and when he was a tiny kitten he had little tab ears, too, which made him look like a little orange hamster.


Now he's a full-grown tomcat. He's very sweet, really, if a bit scared of his own shadow. If he wasn't so scared, he'd make a good pet for someone. I have a baby photo of him at about 6 weeks, with has rescued sister Lucy (from a different feral litter). He's already outgrown the tab-eared stage here, but you can still see his cuteness.
