Jasper (II)
Like more than a few cats living in the Old AIDS building at the sanctuary, Jasper is a cuddler.
I first met him when I was interviewing Jeremy for a blog post. Phaedra had mentioned that Jeremy, Jasper and Panther were all eager to have a share of cuddle and lap time, so that it was never possible to pay attention to just one of them. I found this to be true within moments (or was it just seconds?) of sitting down, when all three cats managed to insert themselves neatly in the available lap space like furry puzzle pieces.
Jasper has been at the sanctuary for a long time. And he’s always been friendly. Like most cats, though, he does have his quirks. For some reason, while he’s quite happy to cuddle with Leslie, he also loves to smack her. Why? Apparently, he just seems to think it’s terribly funny.
Cats have a strange sense of humor.
