I called Marmite his name because when he was about 5 weeks old I was eating Marmite on toast and he tried to steal it and I sat there feeding him the rest of my piece of toast. He is 6 months old now and a real mummy’s boy he loves to be where ever I am even coming in the bathroom with me.

He likes to sit with me while I am using the computer either laying on my arm, which is annoying when I am trying to type or if I keep putting him on the floor he will jump up on my shoulder and go to sleep.

He also loves meeting new people and as soon as someone new come to the house he will either tap them on the back when they sit down or jump on their laps. He also like to help my children with their homework ( well at least he thinks he is ) and sulks if they push him away.

He has also just taught the younger kittens in the house to use a litter box by using it himself and calling to them he also washes the younger kittens. Marmite also has a habit of acting like a dog when I return home from going out by jumping up at me and licking me, he has turned into a very special cat.

My husband had said I was not keeping any more cats because we have 6 already but I got my own way and I am so glad I did. I hope he will be with us for many years to come and I am really sure that he will develop many more funny ways and habits as I am really not sure whether he thinks he is a cat a dog or a human just maybe he thinks he is all 3 but one thing is for sure he definitely keeps us amused.

He is black and white domestic shorthair and weighs approximately 14 pounds. When I first brought him home he was a little skittish so we named him Skitter.

Another good name for him would be Slinky. When he is frightened he slinks along the floor/ground and if he gets really scared he runs straight for his food dish! When he’s not being afraid he is limp as a dish rag.

You can hold him on his back and play him like an accordion. Everyone that comes to my house can’t believe how limp he gets. Once I put a harness on him and it was hilarious.

At first he just fell over and when he finally figured out he could stand the only direction he would go was backwards. He also likes to play with a laser light.

His favorite treat is the little dab of milk that’s leftover in the bowl after I have cereal. He is a very loving cat and begins to purr if you so much as say his name. When he wants outside he will claw on my chair but not use his claws, just uses his paws to get his message across.

If I pat my chest he will jump up into my arms and roll over on his back for a belly rub. He also likes to be patted real hard on the belly and then he’ll rabbit kick my hand and grab my arm with his front paws and act like he’s going to bite but he just barely puts any pressure on my arm. He’s a great cat and is one of a kind.
