Coloration: Brown
Likes: Me! Willow (alas its unrequited love!). My bed - as much of it as possible!
Pet-Peeves: Not being allowed wet food and watching Willow eat it. Willow being outside and not him. Whistling.
Favorite Toy: The cushion on his basket and a sock stuffed with catnip, mousies, but he will chase after anything you throw.
Favorite Nap Spot: Me, my bed, the Vespa when it has its cover on, the landing.
Favorite Food: Willow's, but he's learning!
Skills: Typing. Volleyball. Being a furry alarm clock. Having the worlds loudest purr (we think). Chemical warfare... yuk
Dwells:
indoors and outdoors
Arrival Story: He's a Cats Protection cat, they picked him up from a dodgy breeder who kept lots of cats in cages and fed them only dry bread and dog biscuits. He was the healthiest one there, but he does have tummy troubles and a nervous disposition. He has panic attacks if he gets trapped anywhere and hates the catbox, but is so gentle with people (once I trained him that hands are not food!), not bad for a crazy mixed up rescue cat. I wonder if he's a daddy? He still had his manbits when the CP picked him up, so he might just have kids, we dont know.
When you look at videos like this, just think, a cat would so dearly love a home like Al's now got. He meowed really loudly and was very sad and scared, but his cubicle at the Cats Protection was a luxury condo compared to what some kitties have..http://uk.youtube.com/watch? v=mekxtciugVY&feature=related
Please think about these imprisoned cats and get your cat neutered. We dont have Kill Shelters here in the UK because its in our culture to make sure our cats DONT go out and randomly breed, neutering males and females is very much the accepted norm and is not as cruel as locking cats in cages or killing them.
Bio: He's a soppy doofus and has big teefs (which stink!) and clawses (which we trim). Sometimes he farts and it is horrendous! He sleeps on people at night, even on their face! He likes watching videos on the laptop and TV, and playing with his mousies or wool.
In recent months he has taken to waking us up by lying on our faces/necks/chests, and in the last few weeks has let his mummy pick him up and carry him around.
This summer he has grown a ginger triangle on his back! More on that later.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Ignore or Pet?
Yep, definitely feeling more myself now. Jumped on mummy's bed early AM when she was in the bathroom, she had to settle for the space left over MOL! Then I tore around the house chasing Willow like a mad thing. Last night I let her pick me up and carry me around and got lots of stroking and purred a lot like my old self. Mum is very happy again!
Mum's really upset. I'm still looking miserable after my vet trip yesterday morning and when she went to stroke me this morning I made this strangled cry and half-heartedly snapped at her hand. Mum and Dad think I might be having a reaction to my shots and wonder if any other kitty has gone through this, and really hope its just temporary and I feel better and back to my soppy old self again...
I am by nature a moody cat. At the weekend I nearly took one of mum's eyes out - she got in my face and I swiped hers! It was ok tho, the next day it had stopped hurting and there was less watering, but boy did she yelp!
Today I am even MORE crazy. With good reason. Mum bundled me wrapped in a towel so I couldn't move, and took me to that vet place again. This time as well as yowling all the way there, I hid under the towel and the vet examined me mostly when I was tucked up with the lid off the box. Boy I did look miserable. She had a look at my eye to see if it had cleared up (they said it looked good), and only took me out to weigh me then tucked me up again. I thought "Phew, that's it." But NO! They stuck a flippin' needle in my neck!! Well, I snuggled into my towel and they put the lid on, took ages to pay as the receptionist was busy, and then Mum decided to stop in at the hardware shop and take me in with her!! All I wanted to do is go home, and I've been sulking ever since. One minute I'll let Mum and Uncle Rich stroke me, the next I'll yell at them and snap at their hands. That'll teach them to not respect my sensitivity.
Next time I see that towel and box, I'm going into hiding. It's too much for a precious cat prince like me, it really is!!
