Gimli

Gimli came to live with me in 2004. He is a brown striped tabby, an English short hair. Marty's mother cat had about 6 kittens. I picked Gimli out of the litter. He was the tiniest of the kittens, the runt of the batch. He was born on about May 31, 2004. Wellington was his big brother and used to groom him. I had Sasha then but Sasha didn't want anything to do with him or Wellington. He was named Gimli for a character in Lord of the Rings. Chevy was the one who named him.

He may be little but he is loud. He talks to me all the time and he insists on sleeping in bed in bed with me. He loves me more than any of the others. He has a cute personality. He loves to get under a stream of water and get a little. He has a very voracious appetite and will grab food right out of your hand and run away like a little squrriel. He loves to run and play and to tease. His daytime sleeping spot is on the cable box. If a strange cat comes along, he has a real hissy fit. Whenever I go anyplace, he really misses me and when I come back he won't let me out of his sight. He likes to snoop at anything and is very curious. He has gotten locked in the closet on several occasions because he was so curious and one time he was locked up for a whole day. Poor baby. He also will sometimes fetch like a dog. I throw something on the floor, he retrieves it and brings it to me and then he wants me to throw it again.
