Coomer the Cat This is Coomer, my cat. Coomer is a Domestic Short Hair, and, as you can see, he is the greatest cat on Earth. I adopted him from the Seattle Animal Control in May of 2002, when he was between four and six weeks old. I have raised him as an only child so he would be just like me. Today, those who know him say that Coomer is a dog trapped in a cat's body; aside from barking, he is just about as canine as a cat can come.
