Meet Thomas

Hi!  My name is Thomas.  They tell me that I am a domestic short-haired cat, however, I am sure that is not true as I know that I have descended from royalty. How they can call royalty "domestic" is beyond me.  Although I am 15 years old, I have only lived with my mom for 3 years now.  Jennifer adopted my sister and I when we were re-homed through Centennial Animal Hospital.  I knew from the moment that I laid eyes on her that she would be my family.  However, it took her a long, 3 months to realize that she needed me as much as I needed her.  I have made it my purpose in life to be Jennifer's shadow; we do everything together.  She cannot go anywhere or do anything without me being right beside her.  I have also taken it upon myself to manage the household.  The other cats and the dog only do things or go places that I allow them to.  I am a bit of a stickler for a tight schedule.  Each morning I wake my family at 5:30am with my beautiful singing.  Just like an alarm clock, I get louder over time.  What can I say?  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I want to make sure that it is served on time!  If my mom doesn't want to get up that early, on her days off, I show her extra affection by tapping her face with my claws and rubbing my teeth on her forehead.  That generally does the trick!  That being said, I am really enjoying my "golden years"!  I spend my days lounging in the sunshine or curled up on the heated bed until my mom comes home from work.  I am spoiled!  I am always showered with love, catnip, my favorite toys and good food.  Although I can never be spoiled enough, in my books, I really did luck out!
