This is Red. He is a 6-year-old rescue cat, which makes him my little brother. As you can see, he is not very little. His hobbies include sleeping on my bed, eating, and playing with catnip toys.

He likes to hang out with our family. When we had virtual school, he liked to come into class with us. He can often be found in crazy and hilarious places. He is a fan of tuna and drinks from Dixie cups sometimes. He likes to sit with me while I read.

Unlike most people, he has enjoyed being in quarantine because we are all home together. He is an awesome cat.
