Oh, Ziggy does sound like a character and I'm sure you do miss him! New kitty sounds like a character in the making--trying to haul off the cell phone?! It will be fun to see what he tries next....
My cat Ziggy (RIP) was a character.He would climb on the headboard of my bed. When he was directly behind me he would lean over my face and gently tap me on the nose until I woke up. I would open my eyes and he would be about an inch above me. He also loved to antagonize my husband.Every time hubby put down a glass full of water, coffee etc. Ziggy would climb on the table and knock it over. He would then just tip-toe away lay down and then look my hubby directly in the eye as if to say "what are you going to do about it" I miss that cat. One of my current cats steals whatever he can and hides it under my desk. More than once I have caught him with my cell phone between his teeth attempting to haul it away.I have only had him for 1 month who knows what else he will be up to.
