Sapphire
cats&flowers
He's a cat, but he thinks he is a dog. He follows me all over the house and constantly begs for attention.
Sapphire was the runt of the litter and had to be bottle fed when I rescued him from under my porch steps. He now weighs almost twenty pounds.
A Siamese-mix, he is an absolutely beautiful cat, very regal in appearance. Sapphire talks like a Siamese and is perpetually curious. Ever so clever, he tries to reach things on the kitchen counter; he gets in cupboards; tries to open doors; begs constantly for people food.
I named him Sapphire as a tiny kitten because of his gorgeous sapphire-blue eyes, and I thought the name sounded royal. He has always known his name and comes when called - this in a household of seven cats. He is the only cat that I can depend on to come when I want him to do something, or not do something - whatever the case. The others all know their names, but do not always come running when they are called.
He has a litter-mate, Silver, who has a completely different personality, although they are almost twins in appearance.

Hi Kitten,
Actually, I have a Himalayan, the Mama cat. The six other cats are her offspring, four of them Siamese-mix. I'll write about everyone at separate times. I wrote the blog about Sapphire in my creative writing class - we had to write about a favorite pet. Thanks for your comments.
