Zeuss and his human, Sean, enjoying some outside time!<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0
\nThroughout my life most of my friends have been human.\u00a0 Admittedly, I’ve become fond of a few canines, but for the most part dogs don’t like to keep in touch.\u00a0 Humans, on the other hand, are so easy to bond with. They play with me when I want to play, pet me when I rub up on them, and pretty much shower me with attention when I’m in their presence.\u00a0 Humans just \u201cget\u201d me!\u00a0 And I \u201cget\u201d them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It had never seemed odd to me that I didn’t have any feline acquaintances. Truthfully, I haven’t met many other cats face-to-face.\u00a0 Ever since leaving my Florida birth home- a home that was and is full of cats- I’ve only come in contact with a handful.\u00a0 And it’s possible that I wasn’t on my best behavior on those few occasions, which in turn led my humans to believe that I possibly didn’t like making friends with other cats. That was not the case, of course, so I recently took some steps to change the humans’ minds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Shadow<\/p><\/div>\n

This is my friend Shadow, who I’ve known now for about three months. Shadow is a male indoor cat who lives two houses down, and his humans allow him to keep his litter box outside.\u00a0 Sometimes Shadow happens to be outside at the same time as me, and when we notice each other we meet by the fence and hang out.\u00a0 Shadow doesn’t have much to say usually, but he seems to enjoy my company and I enjoy his.
\n<\/object>
\nOnce I had established that I was capable of befriending other cats, the humans decided to help me meet another.<\/p>\n

I’d like everyone to meet my newest feline friend, Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Introducing Amsterdam!<\/p><\/div>\n

Amsterdam is a female cat that belongs to Sarah, one of my many human friends.\u00a0 Amsterdam needed a place to stay for a night or two, and my humans decided that she should stay with us.\u00a0 When they ran this idea by me, I agreed.<\/p>\n

Thus Amsterdam came to stay with me for a few days.\u00a0 Since she was on the shy side and a bit older than me, it was decided that Amsterdam would spend her time primarily in one of the bedrooms and that she and I would only spend time together while supervised.
\n<\/object>
\n\u00a0
\nDuring our visits together, Amsterdam’s shyness was no match for my friendly persistence and she eventually decided that she liked me!
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

<\/object> \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/object>
\n\u00a0
\nTrue, Amsterdam is still a bit timid at times, but we’ve bonded.\u00a0 She’s decided to stay with us for a little while longer because she’s enjoying her time here.\u00a0 I’m going to remain an eager host, and I’m expecting that by next week she’ll have even stopped hissing at me.<\/p>\n
