Fifi Investigates | Patch

My faithful feline assistant, Dilettante Dilly, is cheering over this week's pet photo winner, Patch. An intelligent feline is always good for morale, says Dilly.

Patch is one of five kittens, suitably named for the white patch of fur on her chest. She lives in Raleigh with her humans, Timothy Bowling and Donna Lowther. Said Tim, "We got Patch from my mother, in Tennessee. We have two Siamese cats for her to play with, Blue and Cocoa. Blue and Patch don't always get along, but once in a while you can see them warming up to each other. Cocoa gives Patch a run for her money."

And you can see from the winning photo that Patch likes to play on computers and surf the web. "We can be away from the laptop and come back and see she's been on the keyboard—the keys she walks on open multiple copies of Firefox, the Internet browser. If you look closer on the original picture, you can see Yahoo on the screen."

When she is not surfing the Web, Patch likes to attack the monitor when her favorite video game characters are on the screen.

You go, girl!
