I
have always been a dog person until this little guy and his sister
Ellie came into my life last year. I really never expected to ever
have a cat as a pet, because I am very allergic to them. Then I was
introduced to the sweet and fun cornish rex. They have very short fur,
and for some reason, are very low in allergen as compared to other
cats. We adopted Jack's big sister Ellie first, but after a little
while, my husband and I felt she needed a playmate. And then came
Jack!
He is such a sweet boy... our little mellow man except for when he and
Ellie play chase by the hour around our apartment. When he is done
playing chase, he loves to lounge with us, like he is here being a
couch potato with my husband. He and Ellie both are forever
snuggle-bugs, sleeping with us every night. Sometimes even under the
covers! Jack has very varied interests. A few of his favorite things
include having cat-nip bubbles blown for him, and stealing every
cotton ball or q-tip he can get a hold of, no matter how hard I try to
keep them away from him. He also loves to play "hide"... which means
hide anything he can get a hold of, whether it is a pen, a furry
mouse, or my personal favorite, the car keys. Not too much of a worry
though, whatever it is, you can usually find it under the bath mat! He
also loves to jump in the shower with us for a quick bath.
Jack is extremely vocal and we always tease that he secretly smokes
about four packs of cigarettes a day. Even when he was only eight weeks
old, he had this very low gravelly voice that he loves to share in
long drawn out "mrows". Every morning he wakes up purring like a chain
saw. He purrs so frequently and so loudly, that he often wakes us up
at night. It is hard to get frustrated though. His happiness is
nothing short of infectious. Jack is the epitome of joy, and such a
good reminder to everyone to relish even the simplest pleasures in
life.
