This
highly photogenic boy is Mouse, an enormous handsome grey-and-white
cat who came to us because his former owners thought he "wasn't much of
a pet". Well, I don't know what they did with him to get that
impression, because he's one of the most loving, affectionate,
interactive cats in the place. He talks to you and carries on
conversations, looking you right in the eye; he gives major back- and
neck-rubs at night (he came front-declawed and he's very strong);
he's playful and affectionate and everything a pet should be. So, we're
very glad his former owners were clods.
The one thing about Mouse is, even though he's a solid 20-pound tomcat,
certain things (like strangers or thunderstorms) will send him under the
bed. He is a 'mouse', as far as overall courage is concerned, although
he gets along with the other cats very well and won't take a whole lot
of grief from them. Anyone strange in the house, though, and he won't
come out of hiding until at least fifteen minutes after they've left.
He's handsome enough that his vet, who probably treats thousands of
animals a year and is basically a dog-person, has a picture of Mouse on
her desk. That says it all.
