Dude is our super friendly four-year-old male cat. We adopted him from PetSmart three years ago. He's more like a dog than a cat. Dude meets us at the door when we come home from work, comes when he is called, loves to give us kisses even upon request, and wakes us up promptly every morning before our wake up call comes through. He loves to get dressed up in costumes and is quite a camera hog. Dude's favorite pasttime is bird watching and stalking stuffed toy mice. He weighs a whopping 20 pounds, but he is on a diet and has already lost a few ounces. Cheryl and Hank Fohring


Wow, this story and picture are so cute! I love that you adopted a cat and not a kitten--they need love too! I adopted a stray (already had one, "pretty Kitty")and after months of leaving food for it outside, managed to get it "trapped" so I could take it to the vet to get fixed. Now, he's my loving, special, "dog-cat" as I call him. Sounds very similar to yours! Thanks for sharing your picture and your story!
