I Outta Be Ashamed

My little Jefferson has not been mentioned on my blog! What the heck is wrong with me??? I started with Peaches (because we had just gotten her). Then I posted on Shadow. And then, I must have gotten side tracked because I totally forgot Jefferson!

Jefferson is our little Tiger- he was our second cat and we got him because we really thought Shadow needed a good friend. (I've had Shadow since I was 13 and he's been a lone cat as long as I've had him.) Jefferson was a Craig's List baby; we looked for kittens for months and I usually only looked at the ones with pictures- I figured it would take some of the guess out of it. One day, I decided to look at a post about 2 orange kittens and it didn't have a picture. Jon said he'd like an orange one and I just thought that was the cutest thing.

We called the woman and set up a time to meet. Jonathan immediately bonded with one of cats when we finally got in front of them and started interacting. They were adorable and they looked exactly alike. I tried to interact with both of them as much as possible, but after a few minutes it was apparent that Jon was in love. I loved them both the same and so it was decided- we took Jon's first choice home.

Jefferson Sidney

We named him Jefferson Sidney because we brought him home on July 4th, 2007- Jefferson because it was in fact Independence Day and Sidney after my wonderful Grandfather whose birthday was July 4th.

He bonded with us quickly. He loved to lay over our shoulders and would stay curled up in my lap for hours! He bonded with Shadow quickly as well. I think Shadow was excited and then quite shocked that the little guy didn't leave- it took Shadow a full day and then they were the BEST of buds and have been ever since.

Jefferson will be 2 years old on may 12th. As he's grown, he's fallen in love with Television, boxes, and chairs.

TV - First week home.


Boxes - His next obsession.


Chairs - His all time favorite.



What a doll. And that's our Jefferson.
