Owner: Brad
About Me: Basically Dad came into the Johnson County Humane Society looking for a female, adult, black and white tuxedo cat. Basically, I sat in the corner while my litter mates played and concealed my gender and showed off my tux markings. From there on out Dad and I were best pals.
Nicknames: Boomz, Bada Boom, Monkey Butt
My Motto: When the birds fly away, Boomer wil play.
Likes: Birds, squirrels, chase toys, bugs, naps, Uncle Michael's cat named Gigi and yes, cuddling with Dad at night.
Pet-peeves: Full litter boxes, Dad being forgetful about play time, annoying dogs, and most of all, guests putting there stuff on my special spot. Gee that really pushes my buttons.
Best Tricks: I play catch with my favorite toys, and I can promptly act like an alarm clock to get Dad up at 7 every morning. I also do the come command when Dad does a special noise.
Favorite Activities: Actually, I really don't like to sleep during the day much. I like to run around the apartment, play with chase toys, keep an eye out on the birds, and even occasionally hop on Dad's lap and pur my rump off. Life is good.
Favorite Food: Science Diet and Temptation treats
Favorite Toy: Velvet Mouse with Catnip...too good to pass up! Oh, and don't forget about my toy chipmunk!
Favorite Walk: Walk? That's funny. Cats don't walk. We jump, leap, and meow. And since I'm an indoor cat, I do all of these things here in the apartment.
