Rogain


My cat Rogaine is very misunderstood. Most people initially assume that he has thin hair because of his name. He actually got his name due to his coloring. He is a black smoke with only the tips of the fur being black. When he first showed up in August six years ago he had his summer fur and the white portion of his fur was more visible. At first glance he appeared to have thin hair and be in need of some Rogaine. Rogaine is also a very large cat. He is not exactly fat but he is too large to go through the cat door comfortably and never really runs. Rogaine went through a period of biting when he was younger. He was rather high strung and would bite when he became too agitated, usually as a result of a neighbor's cat meowing outside for food. As a result Rogaine managed to spend time twice at Animal Protection. He was quite well liked there by the staff and when he gets too frisky I remind him that he could find himself there again. My husband has never understood Rogaine and I think he is a little jealous of him. Rogaine likes to tell me about his activities and will look for me when he comes in from outside. He is also a good listener, never interrupts me, and will not bother me when I am asleep. If Rogaine were a person he would probably be marginally employed, have a good sense of humor, and be a hearty eater.
