   Button is ten years old, give or take, and he's what is know as an orange American common ... and sometimes a brat too ... Button, well he's what I'd call the Yellow Lab of cats - laid back and friendly. He and I have been alone together from day one so he comes across as a bit of a territorial individual. He likes to play, but not a lot. I've bought him toys but to no avail - he loves those yellow sticky notes you use in the office for reminders. Just roll them up into a ball and flick them just about anywhere. The money I've spent on toys, I've finally learned that it's been pretty much a waste. But hey, all in all he's a typical cat.

    He's good company and likes his snacks and brush - the two magic words that make him smile. I've done some moving around, both within the city and inter-provincial. And he has taken the brunt of most of it, including being boarded a few times, keeping us apart and neither he, nor I liked it. But we've weathered the storms and still are best friends. He's an indoor cat and I think that has added to his longevity. He has grown to be a large male and when I've picked up others, he's likely the biggest one yet! So don't ask how he got in the bag ... he's cat, remember?
