Archer

  It has been almost 4 months I think since Archer came in to this house to join our band of furry creatures. Since then he has found his place amongst the others, clearly below Boots, more than likely below Daisy, even with Lucy and actually plays with her and unsure about Fudge. In fact with Fudge in his cone/collar thing Archer is actively scared of the most timid cat in the house and goes away when Fudge gets too close to his face. Fudge in turn has no idea why Archer is hissing and running away, poor little guy.

  Anyway, Archer is a cat that could eat the world. He loves eating all the food we put out so we have to be careful with how much we give him. With us keeping food out of reach for most of the day now so we can control what Fudge eats he will come up to us very often and head butt us over and over while chirping to get us to feed him. All the while he will be purring and looking up at us to see if we have his attention. We have never really heard him meow though, just lots of chirps. A bit like Daisy's squeaks that she does since she really doesn't meow either.

  Even when we have our own food Archer will come take a look. We will be on the floor eating food watching TV (don't ask, we just do it that way) and he will be on the sofa behind us and then his face will come leaning past the side of your head as he tries to get a look at what we have. Either that or he will wander around on the floor looking at the plate of food wondering if he can have some. Also given his size he can stretch up and just about reach the kitchen counter and has been known to do that a lot of some piece of food that takes his attention is up there. God help us if he ever gets to be able to jump up there like the girls can. He even came up to me today sitting in my desk chair eating a ginger snap my wife made and put his paws on my legs to take a look. That cat seriously loves his food which is not surprising given his weight when we got him.

  Right now he is laying back on the floor looking at us wondering if we are going to feed him, although looking at him let him know we know he is there so he has come back to try a few more head rubs against our legs. Sorry dude, no food for you right now.
