MORE THAN JUST A PET
MIKE DAMIANO with Ally Pecia
I got Ally Pecia, a Canadian Sphynx cat, three years ago from a friend who was ironically allergic to her. I was looking for a low maintenance companion and happened to see a video of her playing with Ally and I jokingly said “I want her!” And, later that day I was headed to pick her up. The rest is history! Ally is super playful and loves ignoring all the toys I get her to play with paper balls or knocking everything off the counter. But, she can’t resist chasing a laser pointer. We will go on walks outside, and if we are feeling adventurous, she will go into her cat backpack (which got dubbed the Ally Pod by my neighbor) and I’ll take her out on a bike ride. Now, when she is ready for a ride, she will sit and wait in the backpack. She loves having visitors over, especially those who bring their dogs. She also loves stealing all the attention in the room. She is perhaps one of the most cuddliest cats I’ve ever met, and there isn’t a night when she’s not cuddled up under my arm or against me. My favorite thing about her is how she runs to the door when I get home to greet me and give some cat love.
