Radcliff [4]

Sarah says: We got Radcliff at seven weeks old, barely bigger than a handful, and he instantly became my shadow around the house. Radcliff’s family consists of me his mommy, his daddy, an older kitten Landry (who by birth defect has a stubby tail like a Manx), and a new puppy Spike (he also has a dog brother, Bandit, in Idaho, who he will get to live with when we move back there). Radcliff is bigger than Spike. The first day Spike was home we were sure Radcliff hated him, or possibly just hated me, because he was my baby and I brought a new baby into the house. We spent half an hour looking for him in our small apartment, only to find him hiding in the computer chair under the desk. Within a day he completely changed when he realized this new puppy would be fun to play with. Spike and him are pretty much inseparable, while Landry just is okay with everything as usual, but would rather watch than join in. Radcliff always wants to play until his siblings just can’t play anymore. Slowly Radcliff is forming into more of Spike’s cat than mine -- that's how it seems to us. They really look out for each other though. One night both were sleeping on my stomach and Radcliff was using Spike for a pillow, and every time Spike went to move or fall, Radcliff held on to him tighter.
