Breed/Colouring: Dashingly tuxedo'd

Hood: He has the self-proclaimed best squirrel view in Burnaby.

Habits: "Gizzard" spends his time hunting and eating insects, no matter how big or small. If that's not enough food, he'll nibble on your nose and kneed the rest of

Name: Gizmo, Gizz, Gizzy, and yes, Gizzard.

your face while you sleep so it's nice and tender in case he runs out of bugs. He also will drink out of everyone's water glasses as if they are his own, or just knock them right over if the water levels are unsatisfying low. Despite all this AND being a bully by stalking around his sister, his people still carry him around like the prince of the apartment, which he clearly is.

 Like a PRINCE.Like a PRINCE.

Hangouts: A box kept on the top shelf of the closet, his nearly ceiling-height post, in the laundry, or out on the balcony.

Favorite Things: The aforementioned bugs (to eat), strings, cat nip, being chased, and chasing others.

Other Info: Danielle tells me "He enjoys leash walks outside although it has been a while since he is too big for his leash! He is a 15 pound BABY. He loves to hang out in the shower curtain while you shower, on your lap while you watch TV or on your face while you sleep. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body and he just loves to be near you. He is part cat, dog, seal, penguin and owl."

 He is clearly part owl, as shown in this handy comparison. It's science. He is clearly part owl, as shown in this handy comparison. It’s science.
