Shiloh
was the first and best purchase I made after I moved into my new
house. And although my cat wasn't as enthused about the addition to the
family, they eventually achieved an uneasy truce... Shiloh could never
figure out why the cat didn't want to play with him. Here is Shiloh in
his favorite place... the car with the top down. This picture was taken
during a recent road trip we took, where he literally spent eight days
hanging over the side of the convertible while I took in the sights.
Other than getting over-excited whenever we encountered livestock or
wildlife, and one incident where he actually jumped out and chased cows
that were loose on the road, (for which we had had to stop) he's
great in the car. And we certainly get a lot of smiles from oncoming
vehicles we meet when they see him either hanging over the side, or
standing on the console with his head up over the top of the windshield.
We are more careful, since that incident, though, and make sure he
is secured safely.
Shiloh is lots of fun and is a great companion although we spend a lot
of time trying to work out who the boss is. He's a little too smart and
stubborn for my own good but I guess that's part of his charm. He's
very affectionate and thinks he's a lapdog, all 100 pounds of him. Shiloh
is also a bit of a drama queen (or would that be king?) and he makes me
chuckle every time he lets out one of his human-like deep heavy sighs
that are his way of letting me know that he thinks he's not getting
enough attention. He certainly keeps life interesting!
