The Cat Connection's Cats of the Month
April 2005 Winners

Voted "Cat of the Month" by the Cat Connection Store Cats



Owner: Amy Lisonbee
Cat's Name: Jake
Breed: DSH
Age: 8 Months

About the Winner:
We are told Jake is quite the character!  Jake was given up to the PAWS shelter in Lynwood , WA because his previous owner had too many cats to care for. He was only there for a day before Amy found him there and instantly fell in love. Amy tells us "Waiting the period they make you wait was agony!" She was ready to give Jake the life he deserved in his new forever home.

Amy has had many cats over her lifetime and considers Jake to be by far the funniest, softest and sweetest cat she has ever had the pleasure of taking into her home.  He is fond of ducking underneath the area rugs to hide... he thinks he's very sneaky. Jake sleeps on the bed, right on the pillows every night, but what makes him special, is that he always has to have at least one paw touching Amy's face or her boyfriend's face. Too cute!

Jakes favorite thing to do is to get a running start and surprise his brother by getting himself a "piggy-back ride." I imagine that would be a very funny thing to see. His favorite toys are the fun little furry mice that he can pick up with his mouth and run around the house with. He also likes the little balls that light up when he knocks them around.

His favorite spot in his house is right in front of the fireplace but, he doesn't just lay down like any "normal" cat... he lays belly up, legs spread and happy as can be. Jake also loves to talk and to be the center of attention at all times. He can be quite the clever kitty as we were told… he knows what he wants and exactly how to get it.

Amy tells us Jake is very much like a dog.... he'll follow her into every room and barely ever leaves her side.  If Amy leaves the room and he hasn't notices, you can hear him talking as thought he is calling for her.... just say his name and he comes a running.

Voted "Cat of the Month" by the Web Poll Participants

Owner: Curt and Sara Warren
Cat's Name: Sylvester
Breed: Domestic Long Hair - Tuxedo
Age: 4

About the Winner:
Sylvester is full of personality and loves attention. Her favorite activity is sitting on the couch, on her behind - like a person, while watching television. She enjoys playing with fluffy balls and toy mice. These activities usually only last a few minutes as she always manages to get her toys stuck under the couch.  When Sylvester is in the mood to play, she can often be found scurrying out of nowhere to "attack" your feet.  This means it's playtime, whether you like it or not.  She is full of love and will always give any new visitors a chance to win her over.
