What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreAlbus's favorite toy is his blue and white striped mousey that we gave him when we first brought him home from the shelter. At that time, it was about the same size as him and he would carry it proudly around the house, tripping over the tail. He still carries it around, bringing it to me while I'm working during the day or plopping it on my while I'm sleeping.
The most unique and endearing quality of Albus is his complete ability to melt into your lap and your heart. Half the time I look down and somehow he's snuck onto my lap and I didn't even know it. He will sometimes just sit next to you and put his paw on you - just to let you know he's there with you. He spends his days with me in my art studio -he definitely has ideas about art - but he's always there to encourage me in new endeavors.
Albus had a rough start, pulled from a cat hoarding situation into a shelter as a kitten. He had to have many teeth pulled due to his early kittenhood and is a small guy but he has the biggest heart of any cat around. Some cats might be bitter or grumpy, but not him. He is as sweet and he is adorable. He has changed the minds of staunch non-cat people and is pretty much impossible not to love. If all of America met him they would agree, he's definitely one of America's Favorites.
