Leave a treat for Scratch

Nicknames: Monkey Cat, Monkey Butt, Lee Scratch Kitty, Schnicken

Quick Bio:
 Likes: wet food, sleeping, chattering at birds, waking up the humans when it's breakfast time, more sleeping, midnight zoomies (chasing greeblings!)

Pet-Peeves: people who try to clip his claws (actually banned from SF SPCA claw clipping!)

Favorite Toy: cat dancer, aluminum foil ball, beams of light reflected off random metal objects

Favorite Nap Spot: daddy's tummy, the humans' bed, in the sun, inside cat house, cat carrier

Favorite Food: wet & raw meat. also likes fruit, smoothies, and veggies. (the weirdo!)

Skills: fetches, unrolls paper towels off rack across kitchen floor, opens doors, chases own tail, leaps upwards of 8 ft on walls when chasing thrown toys or invisible

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story: As a ten-week old kitten, Scratch was taken door-to-door by a neighborhood kid in Oakland who was trying to find him a home. A nice kitty-loving couple took him in for safe-keeping, named him Smokey, and put an ad on craigslist. We saw the ad, drove over the Bay Bridge and became his new parents. We re-named him after getting to know him a bit better. Scratch is my first cat, and so he has been raised like a dog, more or less. He fetches, lurks around the kitchen when any potentially food-related activity is going on, runs to the door to greet visitors -- just like a dog. He climbs like a primate, though (hence the nickname), paw-by-paw slowly up a ladder or fence, when other kitties would leap gracefully. He has ear tufts like a bobcat. He's also a Raiders fan (to our great dismay); probably related to his checkered past as an Oakland street kitty.
