Arrival Story: Junior was a stray in the summer of '05. Just a little guy, he wandered into the neighborhood where the neighbor feeds the strays. I was sitting on the front porch and he came up and started rubbing my legs. I fell madly in love and brought him inside. That was not quite that, because I was, for a couple of days, willing to find him a new home. But a friend came to visit and Junior was being adorable and my friend said, "He's a real character. I think you should keep him." OK!!
Bio: He's called Junior because of two things. First, while he was first meeting me on the porch steps, he attacked my shin and bit it, at about the same place that a friend's rooster had impaled me with his dew claw. Also, when this kitty came inside, he started meowing at the top of his lungs at the first hint of sunrise (which was at about 4:30 am), very much like my friend's rooster. The rooster's name was Junior.
I would like to point out that I started saying, "shhhhh, quiet voice in the bedroom" and within three days Junior would shout outside the bedroom but would go "mrrrp" and "trrrrrrrlll" in the bedroom and learned "quiet voice" better than 99.99% of today's kids!!!
Junior is such a love bunny. He shows his affection by rubbing his nose and face against hands--a Junior kiss!! Speaking of kisses, our morning and evening ritual is for me to kiss him on his lips, which he wiggles away from (stop it, Mom!!!). But when he's sleepy, he puts his nose in the air and lets me kiss him and he loves it. He knows when I've been reading sad stories on Catster, too, because he comes running to kiss my hand. He did that when Jack was taken to his new home and I was missing him already (happy sad for Jack). Junior's special that way.
Every time I pick up a cat book, I go to the section on Norwegian Forest Cats and I read about their physical and personal traits. And I say, yup to that, yup to that, yup there, and yup there. Intelligent, needs stimulation, likes cold, double coat, affectionate, tufted ears, strong chin... you name it, it's a YES! I just don't have proof.

First-snow: I used to let Junior out now and then. Here is Junior with his first snowfall, before he was not yet a year old and not yet as fully furry as he would soon become: Junior's first snow
Junior Singing in the Car: What you are listening to is Junior singing in the car. This only happens in the car (he doesn't sound like this at home). He makes the funniest noise I've ever heard so I recorded him on his ride to the vet for his annual physical. The words are easy: "Wa la la la la." The first year he did this, I was laughing so hard I could barely open my eyes to drive. I walked into the vet's office red-faced with tears streaming down my face and my hand over my mouth, and they thought I was bringing in a dead cat and bawling my head off. Give it a few seconds for him to warm up and get really going. At the end, you'll hear Tethys in the background.
