Paul has a Tortoiseshell Siamese cat named Abby. Like most Siamese cats, she is curious, smart, vocal and demanding. She enjoys being around water. There is a stream running through Paul’s property, and Abby will spend hours playing in the water. Also, every evening, she looks forward to their daily walks along the stream. She is not leashed or restrained in any way and will walk in a manner that any dog owner would appreciate. Paul supports the Siamese Cat Rescue Center - Working together to help homeless cats nationwide.
