What
makes Jar Jar so special is he is
so sweet. He was the largest in his litter, a huge cat! He's a gentle giant,
at twenty pounds. He loves affection but isn't really a lap cat but will come up
and sit right next to me on the sofa and purr so loud! He lives with my black
and white tuxedo cat, his "sister" Phantom, a rescue cat. She is half his
size but still the boss as she was here first. She keeps him in line with an
occasional bop on the head, but he takes it in good stride. He's got a
high-pitched kitten-like meow. In fact, almost all his ways are still kitten-like.
Jar Jar is a bit clumsy (hence the name) but still graceful enough, given his
huge size. He's not at all fat but just very big boned! He is able to jump up
very high, into the wall unit, with those powerful back legs of his. But his
favorite place is on his cat condo, or sitting in an easy chair, watching TV.
He sits just like a person, on his rear end, with his arm up on the side of
the chair, and will watch TV very intently in that position. All he needs is
the remote control to complete the picture! He loves him Mommy very much.
Every morning he follows me to the kitchen and shows his appreciation for the
food by rubbing against me before he eats. The two cats call a truce for
meals, and eat side by side.
Jar Jar loves olives! Any kind, green, black, whatever - he will smell them
from anywhere in the house and come running. I've given him some small pieces
and he eats them up. Very strange for a kitty! He is the security guard of
the house. He goes on patrol every evening, looking left and right and making
long yowling meows. It looks exactly like he is making his rounds as a guard!
He's a joy in my life and I love him so much. He doesn't mind if I call him
Boo Boo, Cutey Puss, Mr. Fuzzypants, Fur Face or Jarmander - just don't call
him late for dinner! Besides watching TV, and guarding my home, Jar Jar also
loves, sleeping in any small space he can find. He once crawled into a small
drawer of a nightstand I was giving away and almost got moved out with the
furniture! For such an enormous cat, he can get into very small spaces. He
frequently gets himself into trouble that way. Jar Jar is very well loved
around here. Life would not be the same without him.
