Sox

Our kitty brother, Sox is still pulling his hair out. Mom is quite concerned. He is on medicine and she is trying to give him extra love. Mom thinks he is sad, because his human brothers have all grown up and either moved away or stay quite busy. Mom thinks he is lonely. He loves all of us furry critters accept me (sitka). I am a little annoying with him. He doesn't like the extra attention I try to give him. I don't understand what the big deal is about chasing him through the house and nosing him around with my snout. Anyway, he doesn't like me much. He loves Nanuq, Trouble, and Macy. Mom has been trying to convince me to become calmer when he is around, but he is just so cute and I love to chase him. I don't hurt him....I promise. It is all about the chase. Even if he scratches me, I don't harm a furry hair on his body.

Did I mention we have a kitty brother to go with our 3 human brothers? This is Sox. Mom rescued him about 3 years ago. He was in a drain pipe on a farm in rural Virginia with his kitty siblings. Mom could hold him in her hand when she brought him home. She crate trained him and even trained him to walk on a leash. Mom and I need to find those pictures to show you.

Sox weighs 15 pounds and if you saw him standing up you would be able to tell he is NOT fat. He is just a big boy. He is quite long and tall. These pictures make him look fat, but they are the most recent.

Last week, Mom took Sox to the vet. He has been biting and pulling his own hair out. Apparently, something is bothering my kitty brother. Our vet prescribed anti-anxiety medicine for Sox. He is better, but we still catch him doing it occasionally. Please pray for Sox. He looks a little strange with hunks of fur missing and we do not want him to be stressed.

We all love Sox. Mom says he is a dog trapped in a cats body. He comes when you call him. He is very sweet, loving, and gentle. He even lets mom clip his nails and does not fight her when she has to give him medicine. He is a gentle giant.
