Pet personality / Story of adoption / Why is your pet special?I adopted Ralph when my coworker moved and was unable to take him with her. He is the coolest cat I have ever met, and we have been best friends ever since!! Before my coworker adopted him, he was a stray that was taken in by a vet tech school and used for teaching. He does not have any claws, front or back, and has his tail docked. Despite all that, he is a tremendous lover! The only thing that he enjoys more than snuggling, is FOOD! He weighted 17 pounds at his last vet appointment. Ralph also likes playing outside (I tell him the sunshine will recharge his orange strips), licking and throwing his catnip toy around, running from one end of the house to the other at 11:00 pm, making a "Ralph burrito" with the blankets on my bed, and sleeping with me whether it's on my back, stomach, head, or arm. Ralph is so special in so many ways, but my favorite thing about him, besides the snuggles of course, is that he "squeak purrs". When he gets excited he purrs so hard that he actually squeaks! :)
