This
is Sidney (aka Sidney Catier, Sidinator, Sidariffic, etc). He was
adopted from the King County Animal Shelter in Seattle at about two months
old. We actually visited his foster home to meet his brother, Acorn,
because we thought we wanted an orange tabby. (Sidney's name was
Hubbard, and his other brother's name was Butternut-all varieties of
squash!) Unfortunately, Acorn had an eye infection, so we spent time
with Sidney (aka Hubbard) and Butternut instead. They were very active
kittens, running after each other, chasing toys, and generally being
typical kittens. As we sat playing with them, Sidney climbed right up
my boyfriend's back and sat on his shoulder. He wasn't scared at all!
We decided on the drive home that we were going to adopt him because he
had chosen us!
We set out to get Sidney and our five year old female cat Neah
comfortable with one another. Neah's still not all that overjoyed with
her little brother, but what big sister is? They actually get along
fine and even occasionally groom each other-when they think no one's
looking! We also found that Sid had quite a talent once he was a few
months older-he fetches! He has a favorite toy-we call it a crinkle
ball. He loves to have one of us thrown it down the hall so he can
retrieve it for us, dropping it in our lap or by our feet. He also
likes to lie in our laps while we're working on our laptop so he can
watch the cursor move on the screen. He enjoys stalking (but not
catching) jays in our back yard and will say hello to anyone-people,
other cats, dogs, you name it. He is instantly friends with anyone
willing! His latest endeavor is conquering the new cat door we
installed into the back yard. He's already showing off to Neah by coming
in and out a few dozen times a day, while Neah's still not sure what
it's all about yet!
He's the friendliest and most affectionate cat I've ever met. He loves
to give kisses, cuddle with his mom & dad anytime we're relaxing and if
we're sitting together, he has to be touching both of us. We love him
and his sister very much and know we will be enjoying their company for
many more years to come!
