   Moose has a special place in my heart and he makes me smile.

    Like most of my cats, Moose started out life living under my deck and was probably born there as well. He was born to a mommy cat that someone decided they did not want any longer. Most of the cats were all friendly and received good homes. Moose was an unsociable type. He would sit by the steps and watch me until he felt I was a safe distance away before he would come up on my deck and eat. He always had a grumpy look about him so he started out with the name Grumpy. I never had any plans of making Moose an inside cat, however, he became ill in the winter after he was born and I had to take him to the vet and keep him inside until he recovered. After having him inside I couldn't bring myself to put him back out so he became my third inside cat.

    Moose has warmed up to me over the last two years but he is still a bit aloof. He does not like being petted unless he is laying on my bed or on his cat tree. Sometimes when I head to my bed at night he will zoom ahead of me and jump up on the bed to be petted. However, if my little Tuxedo kitty Tinker makes it there first Moose will get disgusted and quickly leave. He does not like to share our special times with any of the other cats.

    Moose has several nicknames which include Moo, Mooey, Moosey, Poot and Poo-tay. (I have no clue how we come up with these names)

    Moose's fur is the softest of any of the cats I have owned. I compare his fur to the feel of velvet and I think his markings are also very unique. His golden eyes are very pretty as well. Moose has a web page which tells more about how he came to live with me if you would like to view it.
