Zanzibar
Zanzibar - Zanzi for short - is affectionate, playful, and a little mischievous. He loves attention and isn't afraid to put on a show, which is why he became our main model for Jack's Scratcher. His milky eye has never slowed him down and he can chase a laser pointer with the best of them.
Zanzi had us fooled when we met him at PetSmart. He presented himself as Jack's quiet shadow and we were none the wiser. We thought he would be quiet and aloof, preferring the company of his brother.
But once we got comfortable, he became quite the cuddle bug. He decided early on that he enjoyed being held and will insist on it when the mood strikes him.
As he grew, so did his personality. He quickly became the quirkiest and silliest kitty in the house. Not a day goes by that he doesn't provide some kind of entertainment for us to enjoy.
Zanzi is a mischievous little rascal; teasing Jack, knocking things over, and digging cotton swabs out of the trash. We always know when he's grabbed something off-limits; he prances around, daring us to take it back.
He loves to play with fluff and when he finds some, it must be placed in the water bowl for a good drowning - over and over. He delights in the simple pleasure of swatting shredded cardboard across the floor and is usually the first to check out any newly opened box to see if he fits.
When it comes time for sleep, Zanzibar loves nothing more than to curl up with his daddy - whether it's a fluffy blanket on the recliner, a pillow on the loveseat, or right beside him in bed. He's a daddy's boy through and through.
