Thank you China Blue....you just made my day! He is such a layed back love, that I really think he just might be like the 13 year old you mentioned. Yes I live in Canada, where it is colder than blue blazes in the winter. I do have barn cats....but this guy would have to be caged (The 2 resident cats would run him off if allowed loose) and the barn, though insulated, does chill the cats water at night. Outside penning in the winter is impossible. Yes, he stays in the bathroom, except for when I let him have the run of the house different times through the day. (he will ask when he wants a run.) The bathroom is right off the kitchen so he gets to have lots of company through the day. He also sits in a sunny window in there, and gets a lot of attention. He has a cushion and is content to sleep most of the day. If he is loose too long at a time, he beats the crap out of some of the other cats....not to mention pooing in his drawers. I think I will soon neuter him. He just might turn into a big couch potato like his 3 sons. If that other spraying stud quit at 11 years of age...it is possible this guy might quit as well. What breed was that guy? This fellow is only 2 years old....and is such a layed back kitty. He is simply georgeous cat.
