We just got a cat from the SPCA in September and we love her! She was very skinny when she arrived, but has fattened up nicely. She is quite a mooch, and for a special treat she has a special fondness for cereal milk (the milk leftover after you eat cereal). She will sit right beside you and purr whenever you eat anything, and will place her paw on you to let you know she would reeeeally like some. |
We found her on the SPCA website while we were away on our honeymoon (my husband and I met online too, actually). Because we were on a road trip, we had lots of time to come up with ridiculous names. Fuzzy Pants McGee was what stuck. She's a character, so it suits her. We call her Pants for short. Popos or Bobos also works. Or Bobo Fetts every once in a while...
Name: Fuzzy Pants McGee
Breed/Colouring: Tortoiseshell with white
Hood: Cedar Cottage/Kensington
Habits: Pants, like many cats, likes to sit by the window and chirp at all the birds. I have not seen other cats chase bird shadows, though. One of the pictures has her in extreme shadow. When the birds' shadows disappear in the blackness, she'll spend a good 20 minutes looking for them!
She snorts, grunts and talks a lot while sleeping. She loves playing with
mirror reflections, and flashlights but especially loves her toy mice.
She will sometimes let me know it's time for a 'Pants Cave'—having a
blanket propped up by my knees so she can burrow in beside me in her
makeshift cat tent and get cozy.
Hangouts: The bed on a plaid flannel quilt; the bathmat beside the forced air heater in the bathroom; on a brown paper smoking lily bag (by the other heater); any window. Her safety box—she has a 'perch' with pink towels that is also her travel box from the SPCA. (Ed. The BC SPCA's "Hide Perch & Go Box" is genius and so great for cats in shelters.) They gave her a little pink piggy which she loves as well.
Other info: One of her more hilarious quirks is her reaction to my vinyl astrosachel messenger bag. She attacks it with love/hysteria when ever she sees it. She bites the vinyl, tries to put her head inside the bag, chews on the plastic fasteners, and eventually purrs and cuddles up on top of it.
