Here he is, Eddie. He is a sweetie, runs into the room at top speed, skids to a stop, arches his back, then runs away as fast as possible. He plays and plays with the other cats, with the exception of Maggie, who is convinced she is the *only* 'cat-child' who lives in this house. Poor Mags, she has desperatly wanted to be an only cat-child for 14 1/2 years now.

Eddie has quite a tummy, he is a little glutton and eats and eats. 'Course, he runs and plays and plays, so he needs alot of food! He is quite a lap cat, if he can't crawl up on your lap, he cries and cries until you pick him up, so he can curl up and promptly fall asleep. He is very very warm! He doesn't have a thick coat, it is short and coarse, with lots of long 'floaty' hairs. Our Cooper had the same coat, it looks like they don't have enough fur to cover their tummies! But, eventually, it grows out and they have a lovely and very thick short coat. He has learned from Maggie to stand on his hind legs, with his paws on the cabinet, and beg whenever I am preparing *anything* in the kitchen, a salad, cookies, potatoes, greatly fearing that they might miss some tasty morsel. Nothing funnier than seeing a cat grab a piece of onion from your hand, then spit it out, run about 3 steps, and give you a look that should kill you on the spot! Hey- I am just giving them what they are begging for! *evil mom!*

Ok, here he is, Eddie.
