About
a week after I had to put down my eighteen-year-old cat, a friend took
me to the shelter "just to look." As we spent some time there, one thing led
to another and I found myself signing the papers to adopt two cats! They were
'brothers' and had been dropped off that morning and the shelter was already
bursting at the seams! They had both been declawed, so it was a good thing
that whoever did not want them anymore dropped them at the shelter rather
than just sending them outside.
Forrest is a sweetie but he is very particular. He wants to snuggle on his
own terms only. He gets very agitated if anyone picks him up to carry him
around but after dinner he loves to cuddle close on the couch and knead his
paws. If someone comes visiting, he will tolerate their presence on his couch
but if he senses a rainstorm blowing up he will hide under the table or a
chair. He loves to chase his "brother from another mother" Ozzy, and is
usually the instigator. Forrest is also the only cat I have had that does
really like to lap up water. He dips his paw in the bowl and licks the water off.
He loves to jump and dance and chase a feather on the string, get a good
brushing when he is in the mood, but his favorite thing is sunbathing in the
window, and keeping tabs on everything going on inside and outside from his
perch on the back of the sofa. His most favorite time is dinnertime, of
course. When he hears the can pop open, he chases himself around in a circle
or two from all the excitement, then comes to attention at the dinner plate!
When he doesn't get his meals on schedule, he gets agitated and turns any
newspaper that happens to be around into confetti. We love him!
