SNOOKY'S STORY

• When I put my 22 year old Poppy down, I said I'd never get another cat.
• But, I still took donations to our shelter and I'd visit all the animals.
• When I went in this little thin cat caught my eye and he put on a show.
• I fell in love with him so fast it was unreal and I had to take him home.
• A farmer brought him, his family and mom to the shelter.
• He caught that kennel virus so bad that he had to go to a foster home for a long time.
• He had just gotten put up for adoption the day I came along.
• So, I took him home and I knew I couldn't live another minuet without him.
• He is so gentle and sweet but he holds me hostage and rules my day.
• He has a parakeet for a friend and a small dog and isn't unkind to either one.
• I bought him some gold fish and he drank the water and it did something to his teeth and most were pulled.
• He likes to steal things and hide them under the bed which tickles me.
• In the morning he comes and lays on my pillow to begin his morning ritual to wake me up.
• It always works, of course, and then I feed him.
• His favorite toys are fuzzy mice which had a place to put cat nip in the tummy.
• We have some good games and he has trained me to pick the mice up when he throws them on the floor from the bed.
• In fact, I am trained very well to do many chores for him through the day.
• He supervises my every move and follows me from room to room all day.
• He likes to sleep in the closet for his long nap of the day, usually in the clothes basket.
• At night, he comes and lays down by me and sings until he thinks I'm sleeping.
• He's such a good boy and I can't imagine ever being without him.
• Snooky is a sweet, gentle lover!!
• In June 2010 he will be 4 years old.
