Beavis

This is Beavis, a very handsome little Siamese who is 13 years old. He is the best buddy, mentor and kitty roommate of Sunday’s cat of the day, Sirius Black. Though he is old and set in his ways, he welcomed Sirius two years ago. He loves having another cat to groom and curl up with, even if he finds Sirius a bit too rambunctious. He is devoted to my husband and to one of our children and he mostly just tolerates me and our other child. He is an indoor cat but manages to sneak out just about daily. Neighbors have reported finding him sunning himself on their deck furniture. He’s never gone too long though, pampered pet that he is.

He doesn’t abide being picked up but he will demand that we scratch his back by coming up to us, arching his back and meowing as only a Siamese can! We are not allowed to touch his paws, tail or tummy under any circumstances.

Beavis joined our family shortly after my husband I got married. I brought two lovely black DSHs into the relationship but he’d always had Siamese cats growing up so we became a three cat family. (Black cats Fury and Buckwheat are both long gone, each having lived to a ripe old age. We still miss them.)

And about that name . . . what can I say? My husband was 25 when we got him and of the MTV generation!

Runner-Ups

K C

K C was a scrawny kitten walking down our street on Thanksgiving 2006. At first we thought we was feral but all he wanted was to be with people We fed him and made a bed for him and he adopted us instantly. He had been shot with a pellet gun and had other numerous physical problems. We kept him for almost 3 years and only reluctantly gave him up a month ago because we are snowbirds and he HATED being in the car. A 1200 mile trip every 6 months was a major trauma for him. He now lives with a retired man in Illinois and besides getting a new Dad he got a kid sister named Blackberry. They chase each other thru the house and really are enjoying have a playmate.

Jimu

Jimu is a very affectionate cat. This was taken when he was following me around the yard :) He’s 13 years old, roughly, but still acts like a kitten, inquisitve and timid. He loves to cuddle, and is a healthy eater. Jimu’s really friendly, cuddly and very vocal. He talks all day, and the minuteyou start talkinghe won’t stop! My other cat, Marcia (9 yrs), is very aloof and doesn’t apprecate him being here (he was my brother’s, and is only a recet addition to the household), yet he still tries to be friends with her, even after she’s physically shown him that’s the last thing she wants! He’s also really obedient, and well behaved.
