Name: Stormy
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Russian Blue mix
Home: Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, USA
 
   This is Stormy, a.k.a. Stormy, Storm Cloud, Stormster, Big Grey, One of the Stoner Brothers. I have seen cats with catnip, but never like Stormy and his brother. They sniff and rub. Then they get paranoid, Then they pass out in a stupor. Then they wake up with the munchies.

    I already had a cat, Cleo when I got them. They were about four months old and from the same litter. Stormy looks like a purebred Russian Blue and his brother Spencer looks like a Purebred Red Tabby Maine Coon. I named him Stormy because he is as dark grey as the clouds get before it snows. He also can have a stormy personality.

    Cleo only weighed seven pounds, but they were both petrified of her. She was the alpha female and she made sure they knew it. Now Stormy weighs eighteen pounds and Spencer weighs nineteen pounds and they are still scared of her. She looks at them and they run. It's funny to watch. It also proves size doesn't matter.

    Stormy can catch treats in his paw in midair. Then he puts them in his mouth. He uses his paws like hands. He drinks water by scooping his paw in the water and drinking off of it.

    He has a strange personality. He is affectionate, but only on his terms. If anyone else is around, cat or human, he is aloof and backs away from affection. When we are alone he comes to me and is the biggest baby wanting to be brushed, cuddled and hugged. If someone walks in he looks at me like, what are you doing?

    When I feed him he checks the other cats bowls to make sure that they don't get more. If they do get the death glare.

    Here he is sleeping with his Bunny. I wait till he falls asleep to take these pictures. Sometimes he catches me. But this one, with his own "Easter bunny," is one I was able to get!
