His name is Mr. Pooh Bear, or Pooh for short. He’s an orange Bullseye Tabby, (meaning he has bullseyes on both flanks), a completely indoor cat, who enjoys catching lizards on the screened porch and bringing them in to chase.
Every day, in no uncertain terms, he explains that it’s time for me to lie down for half an hour with him curled under my arm, paws and head on my chest and purr rattling in my ears.
When i’m working at the computer, he requires me to put a quilt across my legs so he can curl up in my lap. When I watch TV in the recliner in the evening, he reminds me to put the blanket across my legs so he can stretch out to my knees and get in some serious sleeping.
Here’s what I found when I went to take his portrait for this post:
