"Onyx" (formerly known as Albert)

We adopted Onyx ("Albert") on February 17, 2007.  He is such a beautiful cat!  It has taken him a little while to warm up to me.  He likes to hide in the day time and then comes out in the evening.  He has a special spot at the top of the stairs where he can watch everybody walk by.  He is still very shy.  If I sit down and call to him he will come running to me.  He loves to be petted.  He can't get enough of it.  He even rolls over so I can pet his belly.  Then he purrs so loud.  The loudest I have ever heard a cat purr.  He is very sweet just really shy.  I am hoping that his shyness will go away someday.  He seems to like his new home. He likes my 4 year old daughter too.  He really likes to play with his toys.  He usually plays when no one is around.  Once in a while we can get him to come out and play during the day.  He is a lot of fun to play with.
