CHECKERS CHECKS IN How is it that when you meet the right cat you just know that's the one you want to take home? That's how I felt when I met Checkers 4 years ago. I saw his picture on the petfinder.com site. He was at the Ladew Foundation (what a wonderful place for cats and kittens to be while they are waiting to be adopted). To me he was the most adorable kitten I have ever seen. I called the foundation to inquire about Checkers and see if he was still available for adoption. The answer I received was yes but..he is very, very shy. I felt that was ok and took a ride to Oyster Bay to meet him. I am so happy that I did, he was very shy but that didn't last long at all. Checkers is 4 1/2 years old now. He is without a doubt the most social and confident cat I have ever known (he doesn't have a shy bone in his body). He has a great personality that keeps my husband and me laughing all the time. He is quite the character (and I believe that he thinks he is human). He is very vocal and lets us know exactly what he wants. He loves to play, his favorite things to do are: run through a tunnel, chase little soccer balls and retrieve them, hide in a laundry basket but most of all he loves hanging out with us. All I can say is that he is awesome, and it was fate the day I saw his picture. PS - As you can see (by the picture) another thing he loves to do is hang out on our computer while we are trying to do work. Ronnie and Glenn
