Once in awhile, I get to clean other pots too. Mom mops the floor after I do this.

Sun Sign:
Birthday:
March 26th 1996

Coloration:
Tabby and White

Likes:
Lying down. Eating. Rubbing his gums against his hairbrush.

Pet-Peeves:
Having his tail touched. Being picked up. Not having any food in the bowl.

Favorite Toy:
None -- Toys imply play which implies burning a calorie. But he did play with a shallot on the floor for 3 seconds recently.

Favorite Nap Spot:
The newest box or the sofa.

Favorite Food:
Just about everything, especially if it is in one of the other cat's bowls.

Skills:
Eating Junior's food before eating his own because Junior won't eat from Jake's bowl so Jake's food will still be there for him when Junior's is gone.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
When I moved to Hoboken from the Philadelphia area, I was missing my cats (Tutti and Hobbes, who I had given away two years before). A work colleague approached me about his cats because he needed to find them a new home--he was getting married to a woman allergic to cats. I happily took in Sammy (who was 2 at the time) and Jake (who was a year old). I have since learned that was very hard for him, to give them up, but he felt it was the right thing to do.

Bio:
When Jake was sitting on my staircase, a few years later, some workmen came in the house and one says to the other, "Hey, look at this humongous cat!" OK, Jake is pretty darn close to humongous but he is (dare we say it) big-boned. When he stands up, his shoulders are 16" off the floor. He typically weighs in at about 20 pounds. He's a food hog. When the other cats nibble on their dinner and walk away, Jake cleans up the other bowls before emptying his own. How sly is that. We've been together well over 14 years and he hasn't figure out yet that he won't starve in my house. 2010 update: Jake is down to a sleek 16.5 pounds. Most of that is because of what they eat (the canned Wellness, no dry food) but age might have something to do with it. Sammy and I haven't seen his thigh bones in more than a decade MOL!

I am doing the Fat Cat Happy Dance!! I can't believe it, this is so wonderful. The Momma of my BFF, dearest Angel Taffy is coming to visit us! I get to meet my Angel's Momma, I'm so excited!!!

She is coming for dinner in two days. I hope I can get a nice brushing up and make myself look handsome for her.
