Cat Picture of the Week: Cosmo
Jake Describes Cosmo:
Cosmo is a healthy, happy cat, and enjoys playing with our other cat (1 yr younger than Cosmo). Since we saved his life, we consider Cosmo to be a rescue.
Cosmo is a Domestic Shorthair (Classic Tabby pattern), but every cat has its own unique personality. He's independent, and isn't too keen on sitting on my lap. Almost every time I find a comfy spot on the couch, Cosmo finds his comfy spot right beside me.
He always knows when I need a sandpaper kiss, and he snuggles in my lap if I've had a rough day.
My 4 yr old son loves to carry Cosmo around (toddler style), and Cosmo's always cooperative (he's been putting-up with it for nearly 2 yrs). I haven't tried to teach him any tricks, but he knows how to sit and stay when I'm filling his food bowl. I've had a couple of tabbies, and they're very healthy (regular vet checks are important).
Jake's Advice to Other Cat Owners:
You can read the details of Cosmo's dramatic rescue on Cosmo's Domestic Cats Show & Tell page. It was obvious with those first words that Jake is a caring man, and that Cosmo is in good hands.
All the Cat Pictures of the Week in August will come from the same Domestic Cats Show & Tell Gallery. You may submit your own domestic (or mixed breed) cats photo and story by using this form.

Jake's Advice to Other Cat Owners:
- Cosmo is an indoor cat, he never goes outside (we don't even have a patio). My advice is to keep your cat indoors, they'll live longer (Cosmo agrees wholeheartedly).
- Cats are less temperamental and less territorial if they're spayed/neutered (Cosmo likes this idea too). If you notice a sudden change in temperament or personality, call your kitty's vet!
- Spend time playing with your kitty, they need as much human contact as possible when they're young. Cosmo was showing signs of separation anxiety, so I got another kitten for him to play with while the humans are away.
