Hi Nancy, I've been meaning to send a note with pictures of Tedy. He has grown into one handsome boy! His tail is huge, like a Maine Coon. He has added some fluffy fur in other spots, too. Tedy has a wonderful purr-sonality! Any time you hold him he purrs long and hard. He loves to be held and paid attention to. If you make a lap, he is there, even if it is only half a lap!! Sometimes I haven't finished sitting, and he is there!!

Tedy generally gets along with Sheba, my old female cat. He can't figure why she doesn't like to play. We make sure to play with him daily, as he is full of energy. His latest toy is a plastic shipping strap that came with a large package we received. He loves to bat it and run around with it, and jump on it. Tedy also loves to chase bottle caps, corks, milk rings, and cat toys that make noise. His favorite wand toy has a yellow puff at the end. We call it "yellow bird". Tedy expects play with yellow bird in the morning. When he gets the puff, he will not let go. We have to let him have it, so he can drag the whole toy somewhere and hide it. Usually it is downstairs or under the bed, like he has stashed his prey. He really is too much!!

I have a brown cordouroy shirt he loves to yank from the bed and chew the buttons. They are so loose, now! He can be a little pest!

I do hope his littermates get adopted and find loving homes. It really is too bad I couldn't take another one so he would have someone to play with!!

Karen & Fred
