Happy Tails - Spooks (fka Dude)

Hi Michelle,

Well we have had The Dude for nearly 3 weeks now and he has adjusted beautifully. We call him Spooky or Mr. Spooks as he has a tendancy to jump at his own shadow and Dexter had the nickname Dude before Spooky joined us. He is getting along great with all of the other cats and is constantly playing with Gizmo. At first Gizzy did not know what to make of the idea that Spooky would play back as all the other cats either ignore him or snarl at him when he would pounce on them. Spooky jumped right in though and they chase each other all over the house. Clearly they are having tons of fun. Spooks loves to come up for his nightly loving when we head to bed. Neither my husband nor I can go to sleep until we have given him the proper amount of petting. He also is very intrigued by the snakes, especially the big one, Doorknob. Whenever Doorknob is roaming his tank Spooks is right there looking very perplexed. Occasionally he reaches a paw out to the tank to see if he can touch the snake and the glass adds to the befuddlement. The perplexed look on his face is classic as his slight crosseyes emphasizes it more than the same look on the other cats. Just thought you would like to know he is one happy cat and has adjusted quickly to our little zoo here.
