Description

This is Shadow our largest male cat and one of two black twins. He was late being brought in by his mother at 8 weeks (on the cusp for being domesticated) and after have him spayed/neutered and vaccinated we brought him home and he ran and hid in the bed springs and we did not see him for another 6 weeks but we knew he was somewhere as he ate the food. Since we never saw him we named him Shadow. After 6 weeks he came out, interacted with his family, the other cats and became very friendly and affectionate which he remains. He is very healthy thank goodness.

Shadow is one beautiful cat and I love the pose with him perched up on the one level of the cat tree as I call them. Gorgeous colors and details Emile. But what made this picture so special to me is the story you told about him. That made it extra beautiful to me my friend. You and your wife have a wonderful day. #11025715

He is such a handsome guy! My black kitty has now reached 16 and has decided she no longer wants to be an indoor cat. She only comes in to eat. We think she has Kitty Alzheimer's...her personality has totally changed like she is a different cat...I miss my best friend...:-( #11029867

It is very hard when they get old or get personality changes. #11030192
