"My name's Shamrock. It was my 'adopt me' name, & I think it's because of my lovely green eyes. I'm a lucky, loving Turkish Angora!" |
|
"Sigh...I love napping on my pretty Tranquility Blanket!! It's so pretty and so soft. Nothing like a good long catnap!" |
|
"I wonder if Meowmy's putting a pretty picture of me up on Catster? Time to jump on the computer desk!" |
|
"Catster time's my favorite time of day! I love to sit beside Meowmy while she types. Sometimes I help by walking on the keys. Bet Meowmy's glad I'm around to help or she'd never get anything done!" |
|
"I'm a lovely white angora mix with one black spot on my head. Gives me character, I think." |
|
"Thank you, Meowmy, for this wonderful box! What? What do you mean it's going to the trash??" |
|
"I think this is my best side, don't you?" |
|
"Sofa sitting requires many skills - balance, patience, and form. I've masterede the art!" |

Likes:
Cuddling, being stroked and giving head butts - just being wherever his Meowmy is. He follows me from room to room. If I'm on the computer, he sleeps on the desk beside me. He just loves being with people!
Pet-Peeves:
Not knowing where Meowmy is; the other cats not wanting to play with him.
Favorite Toy:
Anything he can bat with his front paws - it doesn't have to be a toy - pieces of paper work just fine.
Favorite Nap Spot:
Wherever the sun happens to be shining and it's warm! If there's no sun to be found, he'll nap as close to one of his humans as he can get.
Favorite Food:
Anything that comes from a can...he just gobbles it down. He also loves Pounce treats.
Skills:
Shamrock is the world's champion of headbutts! He is very intense when he rubs against my hair, purring loudly.
Dwells:
indoors
Arrival Story:
We adopted Shamrock as a rescue cat. He needed a home, and we needed him! Shamrock was rescued from a pound after being picked up as a stray. Can you imagine such a gorgeous kitty being out in the big world, all alone? Shivers! But he has a loving, forever home now!
Bio:
Shamrock is a large cat, the biggest we have, if not the heaviest in weight. His eyes are mesmerizing - the most gorgeous green I've seen in man or beast! His white fur is so soft that you can barely feel it when you're petting him. His fur reminds me of a chinchilla I held once.
Shammy is very loving cat! He likes nothing better than to be stroked and petted. I've read that Turkish Angoras are very affectionate, and Shamrock definitely has that trait! I've never had a more loving kitty. Shamrock asks only to be with his mommy. He follows me from room to room, like a big fuzzy puppy dog. He'll sit beside me for hours while I'm reading or watching TV, content just to be with me.
Update:
The first week we had Shammy, we noticed that he never noticed when we called and that he slept right through loud noises and our calling him. We began to wonder if he might be deaf. We took him back to the vet.
The vet had his assistant distract Shamrock while he dropped all sort of things on the metal table where Shammy was sitting. Shammy didn't react to anything until he dropped a metal container on the floor. He heard that!
The vet told me that Shamrock has some hearing but probably not much.
Of course, he'll always be an indoor kitty so it really doesn't matter much to us! We'll just be extra careful with this very special cat.
The longer we've had Shammy, the more we love him. He's very unique, partly due to his deafness, we think. He's extremely vocal - I say he talks to himself! He's always muttering, mewing, or crying loudly. He cries mostly when he doesn't know where I am. He loves to play, but the other kitties - mainly Sheba, the cat he's with most of the time - don't always share his goal of playing chase. They hiss, which of course, he can't hear. Shammy continues to play chase, and often we have much flying of fur as a consequence. So Shammy's mommy and daddy play with him as much as we possibly can.
