Fred
Seattle, Washington
Fred is the shopcat for
Kirk Feed in Burien, Washington. He came to the store as a kitten in 1993.
He likes to sleep on the stack of food bags (he always chooses the highest
one), has a special toy he goes wild for, and likes to be petted... especially
cheek rubs. He doesn't like one of the managers, and can't stand dogs in his
store. One time a poodle came in and saw him on the stack of food bags. The
poodle slowly walked toward the back room, with Fred slowly following him.
Once they both got to the back room they took off in full flight. Fred made
sure that poodle knew who was in charge. He's fought with other cats and dogs
too. Once he even needed surgery after a fight! But don't worry about him,
at 15 1/4 pounds, he can take care of himself.
