The cute, adorable, fuzzy weatherman saw his shadow. So I’m doomed I tell you, doomed. Six More Weeks of Winter, Yuck! It would be lovely to have some beautiful snow but we don’t, it just gets cold.
So did the groundhog see his shadow in your neck of the woods?

| Name: | Oreo |
Age: | Eight years old |
| Gender: | Female |
Kind: | Cat |

This is Oreo. She spends most of her time in cubby holes and sunny windows. She disappeared for over six months and came back to us very skinny. Now her belly hangs off windowsills, like she is making up for lost time. We are working on helping her lose weight. She loves meeting new people and playing with their feet… so we have to warn visitors about that so she doesn’t get stepped on! The only trick she knows is how to convince someone to give her more food when she just ate, which works particularly well with visitors. She’s loyal, as far as cats go, and thinks she’s my guard cat. However she is easy to petted into submission and loves her chest and belly scratched. |

| Name: | Claude |
Age: | Six years old |

Kind: | Siamese cross |

Introducing Claude, a.k.a. Mr. Bumbles, a siamese cross. I recently had the pleasure of getting him to replace my poor pixie-bob, Mickey Mouse, that had to be put down due to cancer. Claude’s prior family had allergy issues, and needed a good home for the big guy. I was the lucky one. Claude is getting used to his new home and dad, and his sister Daisy Mae (though that process is taking a little longer). Claude is a bona fide lap cat, often sleeping with all four legs in the air. He has already discovered that my king size bed is an improvement over his cat bed. He’s helped me in getting over my loss, with his antics and head-butting routine, and I look forward to many years of fun with this big pile of love! |

| Name: | Levi |
Age: | Seven years old |
| Gender: | Male |
Kind: | Ragdoll |
| Home: | Victoria, British Columbia, Canada |

Levi is our blue mitted Ragdoll. Levi is very special to me, he follows us around like a dog, he even plays fetch! He loves his ragdoll brother Bailey and enjoys chasing him around all day. He also loves his treats and reminds me every day when I get home from work as he sits patiently in front of the treat cupboard until I give him one. He is so cute!
Levi is still the character, he and his younger brother, Bailey, love each other very much and get into all kinds of mischief… usually his brother’s fault. Levi is now seven years old and is still a kind little gentleman. We laugh because of our three cats (he also has an older sister, Maisy), Levi is the best behaved, he has never broken or damaged anything, he doesn’t start fights, he sits back and waits for the others to eat and then he will, his hair is short and neat so never needs to be groomed, and has never had any ‘accidents’ outside the litter box. He is very much loved by everyone in the family (furries and human). |
