Semor

This is our cat Semor.  He showed up at our house a few years ago.  He was a mess.  Burs, dirty, and just a mess.  He was also declawed.  So, we welcomed him into our house.  Since then, we have grown to love him.

Semor is a silly cat.  He is also like a dog.  He is an indoor cat, but he likes to go outside to go the bathroom and get some fresh air.  He makes it very clear when he wants to go out and when he wants to come in... and when he is hungry.

A couple years ago, Semor was outside one morning.  He came back to our house with big injury (I didn't see it because I didn't want to).  My mom, John, Sarah (John and Sarah were homeschooled then) took him to the vet.  The vet had to amputate one of his front legs.  We think he must have stuck that leg into a hole and gotten attacked by something when he was outside that morning.  So, this is Semor our three legged cat.  I think he prefers having only three legs though... he looks way more comfortable laying around without a leg under him and he gets around just fine.



Semor has special permission at our house.  He is the only one that can lay on the top of the furniture...



and lay on our tables.


 This is how he lets know he wants to come in.  On our back porch, below the window, we have a bench.  He gets up on the bench...


and knocks.  He usually does some meowing too.  And, yes.  He can do this with only 3 legs.  We hear him knocking, and then let him in the back door.


Semor's favorite person is John.  Every morning, we have to make sure Semor can't get upstairs... or else he will wake John up before he is ready to get up.  But, if Semor gets the chance to wake him up, he runs up to his room, meows, jumps on his bed, and lets John know his is there.  John then knows that Semor wants him up, so John gets up and Semor comes back downstairs and his happy.  
John is the one who feeds Semor and brushes him.
Semor is also loves to sit right between John and the computer screen when John is on the computer.


We do have lots of other barn cats, but Semor is special.
