Wallace the Wondercat’s Home Page

Wallace adopted us (Teri & Stephen) on April 2, 2005. This is one of the pre-adoption photos that convinced us we should become his domestic servants for life.

He is so cute when he sleeps I end up taking a lot of photos of him when he is curled up “cat-napping”.

Wallace can also be mischievous and has a fondness for crinkly plastics like bubble wrap.

He loves looking out the windows at the birds, squirrels and passers-by. This second-floor window gives him a good view of pedestrian traffic on the way to the school nearby.

Often he takes my office chair and I end up sitting on a stool to work on the computer.

One of our bird feeders is right by the dining room window and affords him a close-up look at small birds like sparrows and chickadees. Occasionally he loses it and bats at the glass.

He loves to snuggle in boxes and suitcases. He found this bag, pulled it out and climbed in it.

As he has become at ease here he has tended to sleep in very vulnerable positions with paws in the air or curled over his eyes.

Wallace napping on Stephen, his daddy. He doesn’t actually tend to lay on us much and almost never gets up on our laps.

A regal pose befitting his status as King Wallace I.

Here he is at play. This was a lucky shot since my digital camera has quite a lag. I cropped and lightened this shot, which was taken in low light.

Wallace’s rear feet show who’s boss around here.

April 2, 2006 was the first anniversary of Wallace’s arrival, which we refer to as his birthday. Here he is enjoying the festivities.

His present was a little blue catnip mouse. He is not really into toys, but did bat this one around and has shown some interest in it. Besides the red cloth “mouse” in the action shot above, his favorite toys are a small plastic bottle and a felt anti-scuff strip that fell off one of the stool legs. Wallace is now about five years old.
