About Me

On January 22, 2008, heart disease got the better of me. I had a stroke which sadly took my life. My human is keeping this profile up as a memorial to me since she loved me very much.
Big, black and furry. Always dressed up for any occasion! I'm the life of the parties!!..

My Interests

getting my chin and ears scritched and rubbed, eating, laying in the middle of the floor where everyone can see me, ice cream, ham (i never get it - mean teresa), getting attention, playing fetch, playing w/ everyone, being the coolest cat ever, chasing the lights from the disco ball, showing off my huge white fluffy belly, did i mention getting attention?

I'd like to meet:

any rockin' quadrapeds or people who will sneak me treats.

Music:

I'm a house cat. I also love drum and bass cuz the bass makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I like sleeping in front of speakers. And I like sitting on the back of the couch watching and listening to teresa play records.

Movies:

movies bore me - except for maybe The Cat from Outer Space

Television:

PBS cooking shows

Books:

any I can lay on and read through osmosis

My Blog

Oh no!

I guess one of the women that gives me regular attention in the house (not the one who feeds me but the other one) is very allergic to me. She normally doesn't let me in her room, but she did wh...
