Sun Sign: 
Coloration:
Silver-Patched Tabby
Likes:
Being outside, snuggling, being stroked, being the centre of attention, jumping up to get stroked in mid-air, being patted on the flanks like a horse, sitting on my knitting, playing Buckaroo.
Pet-Peeves:
Being held too long if he's not in the mood, being patted on the flanks like a horse if he's not in the mood, cat carriers, long trips (in cat carriers, naturally).
Favorite Toy:
Foil balls, catnip, drinking straws - he has been known to steal these right out of people's drinks (as you can see in the pics). When outside, he likes to run after a stick if you throw it. He doesn't fetch it, but it's still fun.
Favorite Nap Spot:
Smack bang on the middle of the dining table, on the bathmat in the bathroom, on top of the washing machine, on top of the tumble dryer, on the kitchen worktop, on top of the fridge.
Favorite Food:
Cat food and any kind of meat or diary product.
Skills:
Being fuzzy, fetching foil balls, breaking through screen doors, opening interior doors by himself, lying on his back as if passed out/dead, hamming it up, squeezing himself into the cat condo compartments that seem impossibly small for him.
Dwells:
indoors and outdoors
Arrival Story:
Thievus is the son of Argentina (no longer our kitty) who was one of the kittens in Nunsey's first litter - so he is the grandson of Nuns, the nephew of Lizzie and Popeye, and the cousin of Athena. But here's the kicker, he and Lizzie got naughty before they were fixed, and so he is also Rappy's DAD as well as his, erm, second cousin?
Bio:
As you can see in his primary pic, Thievus plays a mean game of Buckaroo! This was a game that was around when I was growing up (still is, I think) where you had this plastic mule and you had to take turns loading little plastic accessories like saddles and ropes onto him. It had a spring mechanism, and when it got too overloaded, it would kick up, everything would fly off, and everyone would shout "buckaroo!", which was actually the most fun part of the game. I think it was the cell phone that is making him buckaroo this time.
Thievus is the only one of our cats that, when you let him in, doesn't run straight to the food bowl. Instead, *every time*, he'll go half-way to the food bowl, stop for a second as if to say "hold on, there's something I forgot", then come and jump up for a hug and a pat. THEN, and only then, will he go and eat. Och, bless his wee heart!
Thee Wee is my favourite big lad, and he loves to bound around you when you're walking, like a dog, doing his best to trip you up. He was named after the video game Thievus Raccoonus (supposed to be Thievius, but we liked this better), because he looked like a raccoon. He has a big bushy tail which he likes to brandish in your face, and he's very proud of his big soft paws and likes to sit with them straight out in front of him, for the world to see and admire.
