Name: Neko
Nicknames: Neeks, Neekers, Neky
Born: June 2002
Lives in: White Bear Township
Lives with: Alan, Lynn, Deanna, & Steve Wyman and her sister cat, Emily
Neko came from the Northwoods Humane Society via PetSmart in Maplewood. They went to the store for cat food and came home with two new cats, Neko and her sister Emily.
Neko’s favorite TV show is House, MD. She comes running into the room and complains loudly that she was not told before the theme music came on. When House is not on, she likes viewing the bird feeders and bird bath through the patio door.
She dislikes being picked up and audibly purring.
During the summer she will spend the day in the screened-in gazebo which she’ll walk directly to when let out of the house. While in the gazebo, she taunts wayward grasshoppers. “She starts taking their legs off one at a time to see what they do. Once they can’t do anymore she decides they are now boring and eats them,” Alan retells. She has also climbed and left holes in the screen in the gazebo to get a better look at the birdhouse mounted outside. She’ll run back into the house if it starts raining. “In fact she almost ran headlong into the glass one day recently.”
She plays with rubber spikey balls, batting them around the house and systematically removing the little rubber spikes. Twist-ties are favorite toy as well. She can find a twist-tie or rubber band anywhere in a wastebasket.
Alan is a Implementation and Training Consultant with US Foodservice and Lynn manages the Roseville Public Library. Steve and Deanna are away from home generally as they are students at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and Winona State University respectfully.
