Meet Jake, the newest member of the family

By
Real Estate Agent with Tennessee Realty

I would like to introduce all of ya'll to Jake, our 1 year old Tabby. We got him about 2 weeks ago. My hubby brought him home for our son. Now my husband is not what you would call a cat lover so I was pretty shocked when he announced that he would be bringing Jake home from the animal shelter. My son was estastic to say the least when Jake walked into the living room.

The two amigos a boy and his cat

In the morning he loves to plop down in front of you and roll on his back then look at you meowing, "please rub my belly" He loves to have his belly rubbed. He also loves chasing that darned red light that seems to appear from time to time - especially when I'm around ;)

When it's time for daddy to come home Jake will jump up into his recliner and wait there to welcome him home. Jake also likes to spend time with me in the kitchen around suppertime just meowing away. We have some pretty good talks. He is quite the conversationalist. I think he is still trying to talk me into letting him go into my daughter's room where "Hammie" resides.

Nope. Hamsters are not in Jake's diet.

 

For a $40 adoption fee you can also bring home a new family member. The Dyersburg/Dyer County Humane Society's Pet of the Week is featured in the Dyersburg State Gazette newspaper. For more information call 285-4889.

Hi Roland,

Yes, Jake has found a new friend. Those two are almost inseperable. Thanks for commenting.

How is the Ft. Campbell area doing?

Looks like a match made in heaven.  We adopted our cat several years ago and it is one of the best things we have ever done.  She is the best!  Enjoy Jake!

Congrats on adopting an older cat !   I too adopted 2 cats from the shelter and moved around the world with them.  They both lived to 22 years of age and passed away within months of each other.  I now have two dogs, one of which came fromt the shelter (I'm her 4th Mother and I keep telling her she may have a 5th in her future!) 

Enjoy many many years with Jake and remember he is chosen!

Mike - they try if Joe will let them. That's his easy chair

Joan - We do enjoy Jake. He is such a good kitty! We hope to enjoy him for many years to come

Susan - Your cats had good long lives. I am more of a dog person but ol' Jake has stolen my heart :)
