Empty food dish, garbage bags, bedsheets, flappy things in general...they freak me out.

Favorite Toy:
feather stick and laser pointer

The kitty nest, on the girl's bed

Favorite Food:
The edible kind, especially Costco rotisserie chicken! And steak, but the girl won't give me any more just because it makes me barf! Rude.

Skills:
I have learned that if I stretch out on my back with my paws curled under my chin thusly (see picture 7), the girl responds positively with woodgies and belly rubs.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
I adopted Lobo 2 days after I had to put my 19 year old kitty down. I was planning on getting a kitten, but it was the wrong season, and it turns out that being petless is not so much an option for me! Any qualms I had about adopting a full grown cat were completely groundless, although he did have a couple of quirks. His first owner apparently made him a little neurotic about food; he wouldn't eat if I was in the room. He would wait just outside the door until I left the kitchen, then he would go in and eat. He's mostly over that, but if I walk in and startle him while he's eating, he'll still bolt sometimes.

Bio:
Lobo was picked up as a stray, so I have no idea what his previous life was like. He is the most affectionate cat I've ever had. He's not real lap oriented (I think it may have been discouraged), but he always likes to right next to me. As soon as I walk in the door, we have enforced "snuggly time" where I drop everything and pet the cats for about 10 minutes. If this is delayed for any reason (that commute is rather long ;� ), he'll follow me around until he gets his pettin'! I don't believe he was abused in his prior home, but based on his clinginess, I do believe he was neglected, and it astonishes me that his owner didn't claimed him when he went stray. Of course considering that he's one of the sweetest, cuddliest, most gentle natured cats I've ever known, much less owned...gift horse...mouth...I'm not lookin'!
