New Member -- Jose

Jose:  Hi, I'm Jose.  I am the newest member of Karen Jo's cat family.  I am three years old and I'm a brown and white tabby.  My nickname is The Tiger, because my right front paw looks just like a tiger's. Spyro and I look a lot alike and even Mom gets us mixed up sometimes, but not very often any more.  I am a laid back, cool dude and get along with all the other cats.  Oja rarely hisses at me any more.  I don't understand why she hisses at me at all.  She gets right up close and personal with me, sniffing me all over, but sometimes when I get close to her to sniff, she hisses.  I am very fond of Da Bird and will play with it long after the other cats have gotten tired of it.  I also like to get up high.  I can jump up from Spyro's spy tower to the valence above the picture windows in the living room.  That's the highest spot in the whole house.  Copycat Bambino jumped up there once, but I am the only cat who has jumped up there more than once.  I am like Spyro in trying to run outside when Mom opens the screen door and I get out sometimes, but I don't go anywhere.  I roll on my back on the concrete in the car port and maybe roll in the grass in the back yard.  Mom tried to put Spyro's harness on me once, but I wouldn't stay still enough for her to get it all the way on.  Maybe someday.  Mom hopes that if Spyro sees me in the harness outside having fun, he will stop being afraid to go out in the harness.
