Steve doesn’t just stay home to sleep, he protects his home, well, at least Maigan’s room, where he spends his days and nights. Steve was adopted as a young cat; his story in the Bell family begins at a drive-thru, where Maigan’s mom (Tina) was ordering her food. On the other side of the window was a small black and white cat with big, bright green eyes. He was handed to Tina and, with open arms, was received into the family. With the name Oreo, then cookies and cream, but finally, Steve became his official name. Eventually, the fast food place shut down, but left a wonderful cat. “ I joke around that we saved Steve from becoming a burger.“ Maigan said after telling the story of his arrival to the family.
One of the things Steve loves to do the most is play with toys. Well, only those that have catnip, “Giving him a little bit of the spray of some catnip, this man was climbing the walls and summoning the demons, “ said Maigan when asked stories of Steve. He has an amazing time alone. Since he is the only cat in the household, he doesn’t spend much time with the other pets. Maigan claims she is his favorite person, since his safe place is her room. Every time he is left outside the room, there is always scratching and a meow seeking sympathy from anyone to open the door.
Steve doesn’t need catnip to climb the walls; if you didn’t know, he is a pro-wall climber. That is considered one of his favorite hobbies. At night, he begins to need love and acknowledgment, so he jumps onto Maigan's chest and falls asleep. During the day, he needs to bathe himself, and you can hear his aggressive cleaning loud and clear, as if he is trying to make it known that he is a CLEAN gentleman.
Of course, Steve doesn’t just sit around; he, like everyone else has days when he is very physically active, but others where he is just lazy, laying around, or waiting for anyone to walk inside the room so he has an excuse to move and go be lazy anywhere else in the room. Now that you and I know Steve, I can relate to him; just sleeping the whole time is the best.
