Costa
is a rescued kitty. He actually selected me -- I went to the
shelter to adopt a white, female kitten and came home with a gray and
white, male kitten. He is very friendly, affectionate, and playful.
Here is his story:
"My human adopted me when I was eight months old, and I am now a
full-grown "lyin' king." She spoils me - in fact, all I
have to do is roll over on my back and look at her upside down and I
get extra treats!! My human is used to raising dogs, and sometimes we
forget that I'm a cat. I taught myself how to retrieve, so when she
throws one of my favorite toys -- I'm very partial to furry and
feathered things -- I'll run and get it and bring it right back. She
has also taught me some cool tricks! I sit, sit up and beg, and
"high five" -- all on command!!! I know very important key
words, and respond when she says "tricks,"
"dinner," or "go outside."
We play games, too. I am particularly fond of hide-n-seek and tag. We
go for walks around the condo building where we live, and sometimes
my human even takes me to PetSmart (my favorite place!) or to her
office. I get a lot of attention cause I walk on a leash. I love
attention!! I have a girlfriend who lives next door. She's a female
Siamese and her name is Coco. Sometimes Coco comes over and knocks on
the door cause she wants to play. Then I have to "talk" to
my human to let her know I want to go out, too. I also like to help
my human when she works. And if she is very involved in writing
(she's a technical writer), sometimes I have to bring a toy over and
drop it on her foot so she'll remember to play with me. I think I
have a very "charmed" life now, even though I have
cardiomyopathy. All that exercise and playing we do is good for my
heart, just like exercise is good for human hearts. I know my
"mommy" loves me very much, and I love her very much, too!
I am a very happy cat!"
This is Costa's human again. Although I know I am just a little bit
prejudiced about how cute he is, other people fall in love with him,
too. The pet sitter that took care of him a couple of weekends ago
said he was just like a dog, and that "she fell in love with
Costa this weekend." He has a lot of personality!!
