Collared today: Laddie
NAME: Laddie, named after the half-vampire kid in The Lost Boys.
OWNER: Lindsay Bowlin.
HOW THEY MET: I met him while volunteering at an animal shelter and immediately fell in love. He came in with two of his brothers and each time I’d take the three of them to the playroom, the other two would run around like lunatics while Laddie would just curl up on my lap and beg to be petted and kissed. He craved human attention. I was always sure to tell him I loved him because I wasn’t sure he’d ever heard that before.
AGE: 15 months.
HOME: Baltimore.
BREED: domestic short hair
BEST TRICK: He sometimes does a somersault in the air, going after his favorite toy.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Playing Feather (or Feaver, in catspeak – a feather that hangs off a long string) – he wants nothing to do with any other toy!
FAVORITE FOOD: He loves to sniff and lick the pickled ginger that comes from my carry-out sushi.
FUNNIEST MOMENT: My brother was eating a sandwich and sat it on the coffee table when he went to answer the phone. Laddie knocked the plate to the floor, ate the meat off the sandwich and left the rest there on the floor, as if it was on display.
EXUBERANT GREETER: Every time I walk through the door to my apartment, Laddie will gallop toward me at high speed, stop at my feet and wait to be picked up. Once I pick him up, he tucks his little head into the crook of my neck and we hug. This is a daily thing and makes me laugh and feel appreciated!
IF LADDIE HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: Hugs, not drugs.
