Lol I'll try that.
He's become more vocal now. Meows at me whenever I see him.
He's not very playful, which makes me feel sad for Rachel, she loves playing with him but he just seems to walk away :(
Patches is about as original as naming a dalmatian, spot. Then again, I have a black and white kitten named spot. Don't know why, the name just stuck.
He may become more playful over time. Do you know how old he is? If he was the only cat, and his humans didn't play with him, for most of his life, then he may not be very playful. Or, you could just need to find the right toy.
Edith ignores the balls with the bells in them. She also ignores the ribbon teaser toy I got, UNLESS it's dangling over her head. Even then, once she catches it once, she loses interest. She likes milk rings, though. She'll pick them up and just carry them from room to room in her mouth. When she's in the right mood, I can get her to chase them around the kitchen floor.

Kuro is that way. He's part Maine Coon and very dignified. If we try to play with him with a thing dangling on a string or with a catnip mouse, he cops this attitude and stares at us as if to say, "You really are kidding, aren't you?"

Sounds like he's trying to tell you his name is "Meow"
Personally if I were you I'd call him "Herbie" ;)

I agree with M, it should be Herbie. :)
Of course I think you, M, Bear and I are the only ones who'll understand why. ;)

He looks like Charlie Chaplin to me. How about Chaplin?
My wife adopted a "dumped" kitten. Since it's always is underfoot, I call it @!#$%&*^%*!!

So many good names!
Rachel stuck with Phoenix and he's been responding to it.
Thanks for the help.
He's still a grump though. He won't play, but he sure does like being petted. He's gotten a lot more comfortable here since he last came. He now climbs on top of the couch, sleeps on my bed, goes to Rachel's room and watches her play... he's not so bad.
I think he's about 3-5 years old -- I really don't know how old he is. The lady told me he was 1 but I know he's a lot older than that [I don't know why she would lie to me]. Is there anyway you can tell how old a cat is? Hmm well I'm bringing him to the vet next Monday to make sure he's healthy.. maybe he can tell me.

Thanks for letting us be a part of it. Phoenix is a fine name. Blessings:)

The vet can usually give you a pretty accurate age range. He, obviously, won't be able to tell you exactly, but he can give you an idea to within a couple years.
