He likes to escape...when he's not getting attention!

When, Where and How I Got My Cat

We adopted him from the SPCA March 21st, 2010. That same day he escaped. He was out for two months but we finally got him back through "24 hour pet watch". The neighbor across the street called us through "24 hour pet watch" and now he doesn't want to leave...he's in the "lap of luxury". We are so glad that he's back home!

I'd Describe My Cat As…

The best cat I've ever taken in! He is litter trained, he knows to use the scratching post (not the couch,chair,etc.), uses the litter box, meows if he wants to sit on my lap. He is family friendly, he knows the word "No". He gets rid of all of the insects in the house...spiders, waterbugs.

Advice

  • Please give your animals the attention that you would give your children!

"24 hour pet watch" sounds like an interesting concept.
