Collared today: Eddie

 

NAME: Eddie

NICKNAME: Piggy Boy

OWNER: Jen L.

HOW THEY MET: Eddie was adopted from Animal Rescue through the Towson PetSmart. He was a stray found at a gas station.

AGE OF PET: 10 years old

HOME: Baltimore

BREED: Domestic Shorthair

FAVORITE FOOD: Cheese

FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Eddie is an extreme lap cat...literally attaches himself to me. Wherever I go, there he is. He's a social cat and loves people, so his favorite activity is to be with people. His favorite toy is the turbo scratcher...swats the ball around endlessly...He sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night with this thing.

THE STORY BEHIND SHREK: Shrek was a gift for his brother Elmo (Elmo likes watching animation on TV), but Eddie claimed him and loves to snuggle with him.

IF EDDIE HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: Eat, Purr, Love

I know " EDDIE" personally. I was with Jen when she adopted him. I can still see him in the cage at Pet Smart, just hanging out looking all around. He looked just like an Eddie. He was and still is the most laid back cat I have ever known! Jen wanted a lap cat and she certainly did get one. He is a love!

I love Eddie's motto for life!

I, too, personally know EDDIE...he is absoltely darling...a real love-bug!!

Sweet, soft, squishy love bug!

Eat, Purr, Love-- I am SO stealing that--it describes our Max exactly! And clever riff on the Elizabeth Gilbert bestseller (Read Street--where are you?)

Eddie is most assuredly a cutie...and a beggar extraordinaire.

Dahlink - I was the anonymous who posted above. I did not make the connection with the book, which I absolutely loved!

Grandmom Inez showed Eddie off to all of us at the office. Hats off to you Jen for being a great "cat" mom.
He is sooo cute:)

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
