Best Action Shot

Best Action

Name: Colby Jack Cheese (CJ, for short)
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Fun Fact: Colby Jack was adopted on December 4th 2023. He is 2 years old, knows how to sit, and is working on his recall. He is the smartest orange cat I know, and he is a menace. He can open doors, parkours off of every surface he can, and has 100% manipulated me to gain food/attention. My partner and I swear he understands English. He is pictured here with his older brother, Harry (5, adopted September 2022) who has heterochromia, one green eye and one blue. Harry is much better behaved. Sometimes when both boys are good I will give them a churu to share. I think they enjoy it.
