A MUST READ STORY
OF THE INNATE AND
ENDEARING QUALITIES
OF THE PERSIAN CAT!
Beechwoods Archimedes  RJ1-5        Solid Blue Male

He was delivered 5th during the cesarean birth of this litter of five on April 15, 2008.  
This Beautiful Blue Boy has a Wonderful Disposition & a Vigor for Life that seems unmatched.  Seemingly always sure of
who he was: he was never afraid of any of the adult cats here, and would usually walk right up to them, and stick his nose right
against theirs as if to say, "
Hi, I'm Averil, and I'm Here!"
He was called "Averil", while here at Beechwoods (which is Middle English for born  in the month of April).  

Persians possess an innate sensitivity toward their humans; especially any one in pain or need;  
Averil was a great comfort to me following my return from Fusion Back Surgery on June 5, 2008.

Then at young age of just 7 weeks - Averil would climb up on the bed where I had to lay and rub on me purring, and it was
always when I was in the most pain; he would then roll over on his back, grabbing my hand, and would insist that I rub his
belly - which seemed to have a very soothing and calming affect on me - and in turn would lower my blood pressure; He
would stay right by me, letting no one move him until my pain subsided (which he could somehow sense). I was very tempted
to keep him, and already had a name picked out (which I will not share at this time in the event that I may yet use it later).

As you can see, it was a hard decision for me to let him go, but when Steve & Lane came to visit and he let them rub his belly -
I felt he was adopting them as where he wanted to go (as if to say, "
My work here, now is done, it is time for me to move on
for others who have need my special sensitive nature
.");

And besides he put on quite a show that day displaying everything that he was capable of: running, jumping, climbing, playing,
and for his FINALE, of course, he rolled over in front of them, for the now infamous, "Belly Rub."  

Now named
"Archimedes";  A.K.A. "Archie," he has gone to live in a new wonderful home with Steve & Lane in Nashville.
