Pet of the Month

H.A.W.K.E.Y.E.

By Alex Davila, Bldg. 1 Resident

Hawkeye is a happy-go-lucky cat who likes to play in water wherever it can be found! After I moved to WAL, I wanted to have a pet. My initial preference was to adopt a dog. I didn't just want a dog, I wanted a big dog, like a Boxer. After thoroughly reviewing my options, I decided a cat would be more practical for my lifestyle at the time. So, I decided to get a Bengal cat and I adopted Hawkeye from a breeder in Maryland.

I named him Hawkeye after the character from the TV show M.A.S.H., since I grew up watching the show with my dad, who is a Korean war veteran. He was about 2 years old at the time and he is now 17.

Hawkeye is a great happy-go-lucky guy with an assertive personality. Like many cats he's shy at first, but his need for attention quickly takes over. He's very active, vocal and likes to play with water wherever he can find it; water bowl, kitchen or bathroom. Like me, he's a creature of habit and makes sure I'm up on time, by any means necessary, so I can serve him wet food in the morning.
