When it’s time to replace a cat that has passed, my local cat shelter is my first and only choice to find my next furry friend. I’m a cat person. It’s true. I like pussies. From their funny noses to the pink jellybean pads on their cute, little feet, I pretty much like all parts of ’em.
They say people are either cats or dogs people. I’m the former. I don’t dislike dogs but if you put a kitten in my hand and a puppy in the other, I’ll spend most of my time playing with the little puss.
My first kitten cost me 50 cents.
It doesn’t matter the type of breed or age of a cat, I like making friends with all of them.
When I look at getting a new cat to own, I search for one with a certain personality. I like people cats. The aloof cat just isn’t my kind of cat. It’s got to hang about and say hello right to your face.
It’s got to have character and a little pizzazz!
Levi is my current puss.
Levi is a rescued cat. He looks right at you. He talks too.
Someone dropped him off at a cat shelter and that’s all I know about him.
He’s a one-man cat. If a stranger comes onto my property, he runs away just as fast as he can. If I wear boots around him, he does the same thing to me. I figure he was abused by someone with large shoes. Someone found the scared kitten and took him to the cat shelter in the hope that someone would claim him.
Someone did. Me.
They (they being shelter staff) think he was about nine months old at the time when they received him. He’s about 10 years old and enjoying life like a cat should.

‘Forman’s writing style is artful, with the protagonist Mitchell’s warped thought processes masterfully exposed. The author has a powerful and vivid command of language and his word pictures are stark and disturbingly real.’
