Here's Sophie, she's 3. Tame, loves people but on her own time. She's a talker, won't stop meowing, answers to her name, comes when she's called and best of all will play fetch with you for hours.
She's kind of a derp.
Then we have Bane. This cat loves people no matter what. You walk in and sit down? He's laying on you expecting many pets. He's my gaming partner and follows me around every room in the house. Sits outside the shower waiting for me to get out...he's basically my shadow.
Quick back story on him. When we lived with Colleen's parents we had 3 cats and 2 dogs. Sophie was with us then. We moved out to our apartment and felt bad that Sophie was lonely. After finding a cat at the shelter we found out that he had Feline HIV and could spread that so we did not want to risk Sophie. Back to the same shelter we were in the Cattery looking at the cats and the first one we saw was Bane. He was a DICK, growling, hissing, swatting at every cat that passed him or tried to take his toy. There was NO WAY we could take him having Sophie. After being there for like 2 hours he started to fight with another cat and I picked the other cat up, and Colleen picked up Bane and he instantly started purring and put his head under Colleen's chin and fell asleep....she was chosen. Still a little leery (sp?) of how Sophie would react we decided to get him...Needless to say, don't judge a book by its cover, Bane is an awesome cat.

Back onto Bane.
Gaming bud.
