Mr. Giant is a 9-year-old tabby acquired from the Fairfax animal shelter when he was 18 months old. Mr. Giant weighs a svelte 20 pounds. He spends his day moving from sun patch to sun patch in the house for his naps. He follows me up and down the stairs in the morning and is in the window to greet me every evening when I come home from work. This is usually accompanied by a series of meows, purrs and coos as he rolls on the floor. He loves to sit and curl up in his basket even though it is way too small. The cry of “outside” makes him run for the back door to be let out where he can rollick in the buffalo grass and unsuccessfully stalk whatever is around like he was home on the Serengeti Plain. Mr. Giant also likes to have his toys thrown in the air where he catches and knocks them down and sometimes returns them. Mr. Giant is a beloved and essential member of the family, a beast who enriches life every day.
