   Yes, when I got here, my parents re-named me Sylvester - how clichéd is that? Thank goodness there's no Tweety in sight. My other names are Buddy and Sly Boy.

    I was adopted a little over a year ago after my "parents" lost their other two cats in rapid succession due to illness. An acquaintance informed them of my need for a home because my former owner was not well and could no longer care for me. This proved to be perfect timing. I helped them cope with their loss, I got a great home, and now they just love me soooo much. I'm an indoor cat, but I still have claws which, to my parents' horror, have inflicted some damage to their nice leather furniture. Needless to say, I get yelled at often, but it's always followed by a cuddle and a kiss. I'm getting used to being carried around like a baby, which I didn't like before. I have no choice, but to enjoy their babying of me. I love to play with my laser pen light - I love to chase the red dot, and to play hide and seek with mommy. I also love to sleep above her head each night on my own special pillow. My parents think I've been inhabited by the spirit of one of their former cats, Tugger, because I act so much like him. What a lovely compliment.
