Pet of the Week: Shadow

Meet Shadow, my choice for the exclusive distinction of Pet of the Week on Black Friday.

I'm really not sure if Shadow is male or female based on the story, but it matters not because this lolling kitty makes me LOL.

The pose is so like a cat, I know because I share a home with a red tabby, a gray Manx and a brindle/tiger Scottish fold. And each one of them does goofy stuff like this. (I do too, but that's another story.) Oddly, this cat is a little self-absorbed -- just like Festus, Fergus and Fiona. Maybe it's a cat thing.

Here's Shadow's story:

"I love to give my parents lots of laughs. I'm not very friendly ... if someone other than my 'mom and dad' try to win me over, I give them a good swat so they'll leave me alone. My favorite thing to do is rest and some of the positions I rest in make people laugh, but I'm comfortable so who cares what they think? I hope you pick me for Pet of the Week because I think I deserve it....I'm a little egocentric!!!

My masters are Bob and Karen Faulkner, LeRoy

Shadow sent this postscript: "It's really, really true that I'm egocentric, but I just want you to know that I feel very sad for all of my underprivileged canine and feline friends. If I win as Pet of the Week I will donate the winnings to the Genesee County Animal Shelter.
Love,
Shadow
