My name is Hyde!

Adopted him as a kitten around 2011 from a shelter I volunteered at in high school, where he received all his shots and was already neutered. His microchip likely has the name "Beau", but I named him Hyde (Mr Hyde, Hydey-poo). He had an adorable short tail that he would wag like a dog, and as a kitten was very energetic and would climb my clothes all the way up to my shoulder. Hyde is a cat that everyone who met him has loved, even if they were not a cat-person.

Now, as an elderly cat, he is much less energetic but still likes to play with string. He is very affectionate, especially after feeding him some wet food. I feed him wet food once or twice a day. He loves to rest on the bed and look out the window and hang out with me while I work at my desk. He cuddles nightly and doesn't mind being picked up almost like a rag doll.

I am moving across the country for a new job where I can't keep him, and unfortunately I can't wait for him to pass away as this opportunity will pass.
