  36. I so love black cats, October and Halloween. Would love to add this Chuck to my home. Will he share his adventures when he returns from walk-about?

    1. No, he expects absolute, unquestioning loyalty and servitude from his humans. He disappears for days and weeks into the woods when the weather is nice, and when it snows he shows up looking for a place by the fire.
