Hoosier the Super Affectionate Boy

Greetings PRBJ: In October, we came in to see about adopting a new cat. What we didn't expect is that we'd walk out with two new family members. As we attempted to coax Cheddar out of his enclosure, Hoosier decided to climb into our cat carrier and stay. He was so sweet and affectionate; his personality won us over and we couldn't turn him down. Both boys rode home to Oviedo with us and over the past two months, have integrated nicely into the household with our older girl, Gypsy. The boys, now known as Eddie (which is short for his new name: Edward Cheddar) and Herbie (short for Herbert Hoosier) are best of friends. They LOVE to play together, especially Eddie, who plays like a kitty. They have the luxury of exploring a 2 story home and sliding across tile and wood floors. The house has plenty of windows, out of which the love to gaze. They also enjoy watching over everyone from the plant high shelves. The boys are incredibly affectionate. Herbie sleeps at our feet and Cheddar usually sleeps on or in between our pillows. They act like brothers and best friends. They often clean each other's faces and necks. It's obvious that Herbie enjoys his "big brother" role. Eddie (also known as the "Sofa Squirrel", "Little Man", "Fuzz-Bunny", and "Ch-Edward") is quite enamored with our older girl, Gypsy (an 8 yr old grey tabby). She mostly ignores him but sometimes she plays ....and we think she enjoys the attention, even though she pretends that she doesn't ;) Herbie (also known as the "Couch Cougar", "Big Man", "Buster", and "Hoosier") is very social. He is somewhat a lap cat. He loves to sit on the couch with us at night and sometimes even on our laps. He enjoys company and loves to stretch up for pets. Our friends and family adore him because he is so sweet and social. The boys love playing with their "mice"...three large stuffed mice that they "conquer" and offer to us nightly. They also enjoy taking turns on their double-wide cardboard scratchers. There isn't anything that Eddie can't turn into a toy, so we've had to "Eddie-proof" areas of our house. Best regards for the new year! Matt and Susan
