I
got Shadow when he was eight weeks old. He was a little fluff-ball as a
kitten but I had no idea he would grow to be a gorgeous long-haired
seventeen-pound cat as an adult. Shadow is a very quiet kitty who did not
meow until he was almost two years old. And even now, twelve years later,
he only meows when he wants food.
Shadow likes to be near me at all times... usually about three or four
feet away from me, on the floor. If I go to another room to do something,
within a minute or two, he will come in and sit right near me, checking
out whatever I am doing. When I get home from work, he is waiting at the
door, and when I get out of the shower in the morning, he is always
sitting patiently right outside the bathroom door. One of Shadow's unusual
habits is that he likes to lick the water off my feet when I get out of
the bath or shower.
Shadow is a very gentle kitty who has never bitten or scratched me, except
when he was a small kitten. When I take him to the groomers, they usually
tell me that he purrs while they are shampooing and brushing him.
He loves to have his stomach rubbed and will fall asleep on his back in
the middle of the floor, totally unconcerned about whether someone might
accidentally step on him.
Shadow knows several words, including "treat" and "out" - and if he hears
either of these, he will come running from anywhere he might be hiding
because he knows what they mean.
Shadow has been my best friend for twelve years - a sweet, lovable, fluffy
cat who is always by my side.
