Cooper came into our lives on November 1, 2011. He is now 8 months old. He is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde…one minute purring and another minute biting. I never know what to expect. He is a ragdoll cat, which I thought from kitten-hood to adult-hood meant an easy to handle cuddle cat. He has become a real challenge for me.

Cooper loves to lay on my velvet robe! He thinks it is his.
Only time will tell if this young man-cat will mellow. I hope so. At this point I think it is terrible to keep him as an indoor cat, as I was instructed because he is too intelligent, too bored in our small place with just old mom and pop, and loves to hunt. He is really growing weary of ‘da bird.” I have run out of interesting flights and hide and seek games for him.
In the meantime, I will be grateful for the easy times – when he purrs and enjoys my company, and other times pray for patience!
