Table Four: Wiley

This scrap box contained many bouncy balls to represent the many toys that Wiley enjoys to chase throughout the apartment.

July 13, 2007

Amy and Alex’s second cat, Wiley, is energetic and unabashedly playful. He loves all toys, especially if they are attached to a long string and flying through the air. He has thrilled many with his agile leaps and in-air maneuvers. Wiley is a beautiful blue color point, and his full tail bears resemblance to David Bowie’s flowing locks.

Wiley was born during the summer of Amy’s crush on Alex. Amy committed to providing a home for Wiley while she was still single, and Amy’s mom warned her that having two cats might scare off would-be suitors.

Fortunately, Alex was not scared off. Amy did wait until just weeks before Wiley was to arrive before broaching the subject of a second cat with Alex, but he was open-minded and optimistic. Wiley has since stolen both Amy’s and Alex’s hearts.
