Description A photo that goes back about a year, but he hasn't really changed since he reached maturity. He was always small, though he's broadened out to weigh 8lbs.

This is my owner, Faramir - named after the famous young Captain of the Rangers of Ithilien, warrior of Gondor.
He's not fond of being picked up and cuddled, though he doesn't mind being fussed on his own terms. Like when he comes mewing around my chair when I'm on the computer - speaking of which, the monitor is a nice warm place for him to climb on and rest, which is fine if he keeps his tail or feet out of the way!

He gets along famously with Mum's cat, Copernicus, and Dad's two dogs and often plays games with the much older cat, leaping out from behind him and grabbing his back legs or charging out in front of him and surprising him!
They'll often share my bed during the day, since they have the run of the whole house. They don't go out, and they're happy with that - safer indoors, anyway! We're close to a main road.

He's also somewhat omnivorous and although both cats are fed twice a day (once in the morning and again at night), he'll often hover about during mealtimes for tit-bits: small strips of meat, the odd pea, sliver of fruit, blob of yoghurt - he's especially fond of cheese, in particular my favourite Wensleydale with cranberries, earning him the nickname of "Wallace"

Awww Dan he's so sweet! I love the little description about him too! One of my cats too eats cheese but she is more preferring of the cheddar vareities you see ;D
Faramir is an excellent name, worthy of such a lovely looking cat too!

Well, Captain was the title of the character from Lord of the Rings.
Faramir, Captain of the Rangers of Ithilien (small country area between Gondor and Mordor).

you know the one thing I like about cats is the fact they all have a own personality that will and cannot be bunched

Ah a red one always wanted a red cat

Yeah... like Winston Churchill once remarked, dogs look up to humans and cats look down on humans - but pigs treat us like equals!

It all started with a ginger kitten called Aslan years ago, but he moved on to a better place since so Faramir came to take his place.
