We are proud to honor Stretch as our December Pet of the Month!
"Stretch appeared in our back yard about 14
years ago and we were unable to find his owner. He was extremely shy, so we had
a difficult time trying to pet and feed him. It seemed like it was a couple of
years before we could get him to come inside the house and then another year
before he would sit with us on the couch. It took a lot of treats to convince
him it was safe. He's really a sweet cat and enjoys sitting with us in the
evening. He can still be a bit jumpy, especially around strangers. We have
another cat, Shelly (a small longhair torty with an attitude), who showed up
shortly before he came. They have a sort of love/hate relationship. Stretch has
a good time teasing her. Since Stretch still likes to spend most of his time
outdoors, we provided him with a safe place to take a nap — a 4 ft. x 4 ft. heated
glass greenhouse filled with beds and perches. We're very lucky to have both of
our cats and I think they're both pretty lucky they came to our house."
