Spanky


Date of birth (approximate): September 15, 1996.

Spanky is our second-oldest cat, and was a gift from Fred to me our first Christmas together, 1996. He was purchased at a pet shop, and had some very nasty diarrhea for a few days. He was a tiny little thing, and couldn't eat solid cat food at first; we had to feed him baby food. He loves to lay on his Momma. When his Momma is not available, he loves to lay on his Daddy. Even sometimes when his Momma is available, he loves to lay on his Daddy, the little bastard. He's the most skittish of the bunch, and when he spots a dangerous-looking sock or piece of paper on the floor, he goes into "slink" mode. A well-placed stomp of the foot can send him into orbit, and when he returns to Earth, he invariably walks a few feet away and then sits down and licks himself. Does not like to have his toes played with.

Likes: snoozing in the sun, laying on his momma, laying on his daddy, wandering around howling loudly for no apparent reason

Dislikes: other kitties laying on his momma or daddy

Nickname: skitty-boo, skitty-bud, shutUPspanky, gomer!
