Oliver Julius

Oliver has a great sense of humor and is gigantic, like a Maine Coon should be. He may like venison for breakfast, but his taste in toys is no frills: rubber bands and tin foil balls – anything that’s interactive with our little family. He used to carry tomatoes around in the house, as a kitten, if he could get his powder puff paws on ‘em! He enjoys being brushed and keeps watch over the neighborhood from the window on my desk, making me feel like a benevolent Dr. Claw. If you meet him, he will instantly flop and suggest you rub his belly. And rub his belly, you will.

Runner-Ups

Merlin

Merlin knows exactly how gorgeous he is. He’s a purebred DMH barn cat who’s taken over management of our household of 3 other cats, a dog, and 3 people. He knows where everyone is at all times and will only allow cuddles if he initiates them, which is often…he’s an equal-opportunity cuddler within the family, but strangers will never even see him. His voice is very small and delicate and he doesn’t use it much; his tail speaks much louder than his words do.
