   Chimney has been an amazing cat from the get go, though I guess I should start off on how he managed to get his name. His mother Sammy, had a litter of four kittens, including Chimney, and for her it was obvious that the box we had chosen wasn't good enough for her kids, so she had chosen an old chimney that was held in one of the bedrooms. At first we didn't notice her moving Chimney, but we managed to spot her moving one of his sisters. During our retrieval of getting him out, we had to destroy it, as well as calling one of my smaller friends to fit up there. This happened a second time as well, without the destroying the chimney part, since it was still ruined, but we did block it off so it didn't happen again. We weren't always going to keep him, he was going to be adopted out to a family friend, but then she had picked up a job and no longer had any time for a new pet, and our family had already somewhat gotten attached to him, so it didn't take much to say that we are going to keep him.

    Now Chimney is one of my motivations to keep up with my photography, what with him always posing and not being too far away or too close at times. Even without the camera, Chimney is one of the most cuddliest cats I have known, always wanting to be around people. When it is around foaling time, he comes out and sit on our laps, often falling asleep and helping keeping us warm during the nights. Chimney is also quite a talkative boy, whenever getting the chance he is asking for attention. I also had taught him, along with a couple other of our cats, to if they want to be held, they put there front paws on your legs. He picked that up, and now uses it often!
