My cat adopted us! He followed me and our dog back to the house one day when we were out for our daily evening walk. He walked right in and made himself to home. The wife took him to the vet and had him inspected and with a clean bill of health he stayed and called us home. He does 3 or 4 tricks for a treat! Does high fives, will sit and what we call "plop", that is he just simply falls (or throws himself) onto his side while we say "PLOP"! LOL... I can hold a treat in my lips and he will cautiously retrieve it and give you a "bump" or head butt on your chin as a sign of affection.

When his time comes, I'll drown in the depression of loss. All of our pets have been special in their own way. After losing the last 2 I swore I couldn't do it again. But we rescued a shepard and then this cat moves in.. first into my house then my heart. I guess I'm just an old softy at heart!
