This is my cat Jake. He's 18 pounds, long of body and short of leg and when you see him walking from the rear, he looks like he's duck-walking. Give Jake 2 square meals a day, a sunny patch on the foor to lie in, birds to watch out the window and a comfortable lap to lie in once in a while and he's a happy camper. He's my alarm clock. I rarely get to sleep past 6a.m.--got to feed the cat! Jake loves tearing around the house for no apparent (human) reason. He has his own stuffed yellow cat that he grooms and talks to. Got to get him a friend. He surely makes life interesting around here
