   Hi. My name is Sox, Sox the Cat is what my new owners call me and yes, I do know my name. They rescued me after someone dumped me out in the country and I was only six weeks old. I was scared and I had a hurt front paw and I didn't know where I was. I was under a mobile home (hiding from coyotes and owls) next to a nursery and the nursery man got me to come out after a day or two cause I was hungry and thirsty. He was nice. He got me a small litter box and gave me something to eat and got to stay inside his office. Well, he told some other people who work next door and one person, Hilary, went home and told her boyfriend Terry about me. So they talked and Terry said "Let's go look at him," and so they came to the nice man and they held me and we knew we were good for each other.

    So they brought me back to their home and now it is my home that I share with them and Cinny, the five-year-old cat they already had. She still hisses and spits at me and all I want to do is play. I try hide and seek and she gets mad. But sometimes she lets me lay on the bed away from her. When I am bigger things will be different. And I am getting bigger, I am twelve weeks old now and my fur is getting really nice and my paw is all better and my life is wonderful because these people treat me the best I could ever hope for. Best food, good fresh water, treats, attention, kisses, toys, a good vet (he's ok I guess) and lots of nice soft things to sleep on. I get to go outside a little bit in the backyard with lots of bugs and flowers and some grass. It is so fun! Wish Cinny would play with me but Terry plays with me a lot and gives me treats and kisses me a lot. So does Hilary. They love me and I love them. I love Cinny too but she doesn't know it. They call me Mr. Hoppy sometimes because I jump straight up for a fly or when I jump from the dresser to the bed or when I play with my beenie bears, my favorite toys that Terry and Hilary let me play with. Lots of toys and fun. I am training them good. So, take care everyone and love your kitty!

   - Sox

    We do not know his breed but he does have slight stripes so there must be gray domestic there and he has a white underbelly and white paws but his markings are not "distinct" or clear. He has goldish brown eyes. no pink nose, dark. He is very very intelligent, very very friendly and trusting. And he likes to play hide and seek.
