Davy is the first pet we got after we became homeowners and "allowed" to get pets (stupid apartment rules!). Davy came home on July 14th, 2002 from the Michigan Humane Society, with his name that we kept and a very bad respiratory infection. After many days of fluids and care, he eventually got better and became a normal rambunctious kitty!

He has grown into our "fat cat", who is a little more aloof than Earl, but will come to you when he wants to cuddle, and does enjoy kisses, head scratches and belly rubs when he is on his kitty tree (that Rick & Steve built for the cats!). Along with Thumper, he has helped watch out family grow and has accepted most things reluctantly, but then opens up to them. He has been the best about accepting Jaxson so far!

Name: Davy
Birthday: Approx April 1, 2002
Breed: American Shorthair Cat
Age:

Earl came about as a completely spontaneous decision one day. I always like to visit with the cats and dogs for adoption at the pet stores, with no real intentions. However for some reason on this one day Rick completely changed his stance of no more additional pets, and asked if I wanted another cat. I had been playing with these adorable kittens at the time and was so excited he said I could get one!

Well, Earl was not one of those kittens. That rescue turned us down unfortunately though to adopt, however once I was told yes to another cat, I was hooked. So we found a cat named Pumpkin to go visit who was being fostered for a rescue. She was gorgeous, but not overly friendly. However another cat there, Louie ended up being very friendly and THAT became Earl! He came home on August 16, 2007 and we considered him an "early" birthday present to me, and named him after one of my favorite shows "My Name is Earl".

Earl is a lover, that is for sure. He just wants to sit on your lap, and drool (he drools when happy). He gets along great with Davy (now that Davy has adjusted), likes to watch the bunnies, and loves to greet us at the door when we get home.
