Like all cats, he loves chasing the red dot especially when it is on a wall where he can jump up and swat at it. He loves to be petted. Finch always sits close to me.

Finch's favorite routine is "beddy-bye." When I say "Beddy-bye!" he starts meowing non-stop. When I get into bed at night, I lay on my side and move the pillow so there is a space for him to lie down. Once I am settled, I pat the bed and say "Kitty, kitty, kitty." He jumps up and lays down on his spot next to the pillow. As soon as I rub his belly he stops meowing and he purrs and makes cute trill sounds.

There is one thing Finch likes better than beddy-bye, being outside in the summer. He is an indoor cat and is afraid if I put him on the grass. But I live in a third-floor apartment and have a covered balcony. There is a hanging screen so he can let himself out whenever he wants, in the summer, that's every day. He feels safe and loves to watch the "action." Whether it's birds, dogs, people, squirrels or anything else that moves.

Yes, a finch is a bird! I named my favorite cat after my favorite bird! Somehow, he got nicknamed Mr. Finch. I usually just call him "Cat."
Hello, Finch! What a handsome tabby and white kitty you are! I like your sweet face, and your cute pink nosie!

I smiled when I read about your "beddy-bye" routine, in which your person makes a place for you and you respond by taking your spot, purring and trilling! You go outdoors on the balcony to keep track of all that's going on. You play with your toy mousie, and you love to receive petting! Best of all you are a greatly loved kitty! PURRRRR-fect!

Happy, happy Cat of the day to dear Finch!
