The cat in my current avetar is Snickers - yes, named after the candy bar. She is cat number 2 - who we didn't need. She was about 6 weeks old and cowering in a parking lot when we found her the day after Christmas. She had had a run in with a skunk, was skinny and filthy, and had an upper respiratory infection - not very appealing. However Christmas in Jersey is very cold and as soon as we opened the car door - she jumped in. The rest is history. After a million vet bills for the free cat she is a happy and healthy 6 year old. She does however act more like a dog than a cat. She begs for food like no other cat I have ever seen - probably from being half starved as a kitten. She prefers sleeping with my daughter because she doesn't mind sharing - I do.
