Marco the Cat

I've been thinking that there is one member of the family I have never really introduced or blogged about. This is Marco, our family pet. He's actually been our baby longer than our boys. We got him in May of 2001 when we bought our house. We actually got him and his sister Molly, but she died about 3 months after we got them. Marco is now nearly 8 years old and is a good cat to the boys. No matter how much Tyler bugs him, he never bites or scratches (de-clawed in the front). But he does spend most of his time driving me crazy. I swear at least once a week he's going to find a new home, but then he curls up in my lap and purrs and I forgive all.

He is kind of a unique cat in fact. He fetches and will go to his room (the laundry room) on command. Sometimes he'll go to the laundry room just when he sees us getting ready to leave because he knows he's going to get put up anyway. And yes, he's 100% an indoor cat. He will occasionally escape out the door, but after a minute or two, he's ready to come back in. I think he knows he's got it pretty good.
