Meet Wally!
Name: Wally (formal name is Walnut; Sometimes called “Mr. Moustache”)
Breed: Black & White Domestic Short Hair
Likes: Looking out the window at the world with an eye for squirrels and birds. Jumping in any shopping bags or boxes he can find. Finding hideouts in closets where he can catch a long nap. Using a Cosmic Country Catnip “beanbag” as a pillow when he naps. Eating and rolling in loose Catnip. Eating wet food with his paws. Walking across keyboards and sending emails with words such as “eklfgdjksy” right in the middle of an otherwise important message. Demanding to be petted at intervals throughout the day as well as in the middle of the night. Taking up an enormous amount of the bed for such a small critter. Tossing litter out of the litter box so that no one dare walk barefoot in the bathroom. Receiving his cheese snack when his dog sister Charlotte gets hers as a treat.
Dislikes: Wally is an indoor cat, but he would love to go outside. We have tried putting a cat harness and leash on him but he immediately flops over on his side and plays dead in total resistance. He doesn’t like when Mom tries to pick him up and cuddle him when he doesn’t want to be cuddled. But, being the perfect gentleman he is, he never gets mad, just waits until she lets him go and then gracefully shakes it off.
About Wally: Wally came to us from Washington Humane as a kitten, shortly after the death of our beloved cat Hazel. The staff at Washington Humane had dubbed Wally “Mr. Moustache,” a nickname that has stuck with him. Wally, once a spunky and intelligent kitten, is now 12-years-old and a wonderful, gentle, friendly companion.
Wally lives with Charlotte, a 3-year-old Yorkie/Shi Tzu and temporarily with Audrey, our daughter’s 3-year-old Calico cat. He gets along with them quite well, but does not like to be outcompeted for attention. He is constantly making the family laugh with his antics. Whether he’s yelling at you demanding that you pet him, chasing a laser pointer around the house, or staring intently at you as you read the newspaper, Wally has a wit that makes you wonder if he’s part human. He’s a kind soul and loves to be near his family. If there ever were a perfect cat, Wally would certainly be he.
