Shakespeare, the Cat of the Day
Name: Shakespeare
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Siamese
Home: Orleans, Ontario, Canada
 
   This is Shakespeare! He is a very special little guy! He was born close to Quebec but has lived in Orleans, Ontario since he was eight weeks old. He is very loving and gets along well with all other animals (we also have a seven-year-old Maine coon and two-year-old Golden Retriever). He loves to be picked up and carried around or just curl up on your lap. He often tries to snuggle with Boots and can be found curled up with the dog!

    Like all Siamese, (I have had four during my life, all lived to at least 17), Shakespeare is a creature of habit and likes everything to be routine. They are very affectionate (with people and other animals), love the heat (will sleep on a heat rad) and talk up a storm. He is a bit of a sneak and I have found him in strange places, twice in the refrigerator! He loves to give kisses and anyone who picks him up is guaranteed to get a big "sand paper" kiss on the end of their nose! When Shakespeare was really tiny he loved to sleep in my husband's sheepskin slippers!

    He has his favorite toys and one of them is a toy on a rope attached to a short stick. He will run circles and jump several feet into the air (many times he has collided with things like chairs and people when he gets really wound up). Every time we come home, or the door bell goes, he runs to the door. Actually all the animals do and it can be quite a chore to get someone in past this gang! I am a very big lover of all animals but must admit my most favorite are cats and Siamese are the ultimate!
