Cowboy (FCID# 06/01/2026 - 85) DC - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Greenville, Delaware

'I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see...'
My mother used to recite that to me as I followed her from the basement to the kitchen to the mailbox, and when she sat down, I climbed into her lap.

I now find myself reciting that to 6-month old Cowboy who insists on following me everywhere: 'helps' me make the bed, supervises the scooping of litter, and climbs onto my lap when I sit down. But don't for one minute think that Cowboy is a total momma's boy. His favorite game is fetch. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a picture of him with his stuffed cloud and rainbow toy - he looks quite fierce carrying that around. He will bring that to me so that I will throw it and he can catch it over and over and over. I wake up with that toy next to me in bed.

When not herding his toys, Cowboy tries to hang out with the 'big' kids. Only my three-year old will play with him. Although the 3 year-old is twice his size, Cowboy goes one-on-one in wrestling matches with him. The older cats tell him to 'Beat it, squirt,' so he does.

Cowboy will do best in a home that has another young cat or dog that will play with him as well as playful humans. He will do well with older children.
