Cat of the Week (12.November 2007 - 18.November 2007)

Introduction
Hi Im Julius I live with my friend Merlin and my half sister Cleo. I love going out and playing in the garden. I love to watch the butterflies flutter by and chase leaves on a windy day. I am a bit goofy and have never grown up really - well why should

Tell us a little more about your family?
I came to live with my human family when I was 7 months old. I had never been outside before and was very excited. I have a mum and dad who think I’m a one off. They have a daughter and son who think the world of me. I was the only one born in my litter and so I like to look after younger cats, whether they want me to or not. I love my family a lot and am very protective of their other pets which include a rabbit called Smokey, two guinea pigs called Dermot and Marmite and some tropical fish which have just had babies!

You live with two cats, Cleo and Merlin, who do you like the best?
I love them both lots but Cleo can be a bit moody sometimes. Merlin looks up to me (literally) and we have some great play fights I usually sit there hitting the top of his head with my paw and he can‘t reach me back. He is always trying it on with me but because I have longer legs I always come out on top which he finds annoying!

What is your greatest strength?
Being a gentle giant. Although I look tough on the exterior I am a big softy at heart and will always play fair with the other two and let ladies go first to the food bowl.

What do you consider to be very good at?
Purring. I am always purring very loudly you can hear me anywhere in the house. I purr when asleep (apparently) and even at the vets.

But what is your greatest weakness?
Being scared of visitors. Until I get to know someone I am very wary and may stay away altogether. They have to smell right for me to trust new people - just one of those things I guess.

What is your most treasured possession?
My dog Maisy. She is a good friend I follow her about and rub myself against her. See what she has in her food bowl - which she doesn’t seem to like me doing much, and snuggle up to her on her bed.

If you would have some special powers what would it be?
I already have a lot of human characteristics but I would love to be able to talk human. I can already say hello quite clearly but would love to make myself understood better how cool would that be!

Final question - what do you like about Unitedcats.com?
The best thing about united cats is seeing all the other cats around the world and how different we all are. Size, shape and colour. It is really great and I especially like to see all the new photos.
