About two years ago I finally convinced my mother in getting another cat, we already had one and a little poodle so it took her many "no's: before a "yes" finally came out. We went over to Petsmart just to take a look and we fell in love with "willie". Willie was small enough at the time to adapt to a new name, and Sylvester fit just right. It didn't take long for Sylvester to adjust to his new HOME, he left behind a little playmate, but I think he was happy when he realized he now had two!! A few months after we adopted Sylvester, we had to put our dog down, old age got to her quite quickly. As sad as we were, Sylvester really helped fill the gap missing from our hearts. He certainly picked up many of our dog traits, especially the cuddling all night long in bed. Sylvester perfers to be right on the pillow, and believe me he doesn't like to share the pillow, good luck in finding just a little room for your head!! And who said cats were part of the process of bathroom time?? Sylvester won't stop until you let him in, from sticking his paw under the door to trying his hardest to push it open, he sure is determined to get in. And shower time, water doesn't scare him, he likes to stand right there and be apart of it all. One of Sylvesters famous tricks is shutting off the touch lamps. If hes trying to sleep and the light is on, he walks over and puts his paw on it and shuts it off or dims it, then turns back and gets comfortable in his spot on the back of the couch. Amazing is what we call it. Try and get him to do with the video camara on, NOT, he sure is camara shy. So be watching folks, maybe one day he will become famous and show off his stuff on "Funniest Home Videos" Sylvester has been a great addition to our family, and it gives me much pride is telling everyone that we adopted him from Lakefield Animal Shelter and have referred everyone interested in adopting to check there first. I actually moved out of my moms place recently and of course I had to get a cat. Back at Petsmart I was and I became the proud owner of "Tudey". So if you or anyone is interested in adopting, LAWS can really help you out and match you up with a permanent family member. Thanks to you all
