Skills: He is very good at spilling coffee, especially onto my keyboard.;-) He can open the door to the side-by-side fridge (too bad he can't close it when he's done!). He found the stash of 'nip in the drawer and figured out how to get to it...shh...;-)

Arrival Story: A college friend got him from a neighbor; he was the last of a litter that had been born 6 months earlier. I came to her place where she was living with her mother, her sister, her cousin, and their dog to see the cat. ________________________________
The humans in the family were constantly screaming at each other and their yappy dog was always freaking out. The poor kitty was terrified, he had crawled under a recliner and refused to come out. They didn't have a litter box for him or any food, the only nourishment they offered him was milk. I felt so bad for him! _________________________________
I coaxed him out from under the chair and he crawled up into my coat and clung to me as if to say, 'Get me out of here! Take me home with you!' ________________________________
My friend and her fiance were looking for an apartment of their own so I offered to take care of the cat until they found a place. She agreed. Soon after, the couple wound up moving to a place where they wouldn't be able to have pets. He promptly got a name change (they had called him 'Thumper.' Can you believe that?! A cat called 'Thumper!!), and then he was all mine. :-) ________________________________
That was 14 years ago, and he has been with me ever since. I have never regretted not giving him back!
Bio: Arthur is very clingy, he would sit on me 24/7 if I let him. He loves to be hugged tightly. At night he crawls under the covers with me, 'kneads' my stomach like a nursing kitten, then goes to sleep with his nose buried in the crook of my elbow. If I roll over on top of him, he will just lay on my back or my legs so I can't roll over anymore.
