Snowball, an 8-year-old black and white tomcat, has been doing nothing his whole life except for relaxing. He lives with the Martins in the Wildhorse subdivision: Lili (mom), Ronald (dad), Adrien (son), Angela (daughter), and Audrey (cousin to Angela and Adrien).

Though the entire family thinks of Snowball as fat and lazy, he does sometimes catch mice! A few years ago, the family had been setting mouse traps all around the house, trying to catch one sneaky mouse. There were mouse traps in every corner of the house, yet the culprit still hadn’t been caught. Unfortunately for the mouse, Snowball decided it was time to go on a night hunt, and the Martins woke up the next morning to a dead mouse and its hunter.

Snowball has always been slightly… well, to put it nicely… fat. The only reason behind this is that the family feeds him. A lot. Who could resist that furry face? Every morning, when Angela wakes up for school at 5:45 a.m., Snowball is awake far before her, waiting for her to feed him. If she doesn’t, he’ll just sit there and wail loudly until Angela is annoyed enough to give him food.

Though he relies strongly on the Martins to feed him, Snowball is an independent cat and doesn’t require much pampering. No groomer, trainer, or daycare for Snowball! He’s basically a free soul who sleeps, eats, and plays whenever he wants. Snowball still has many years left to spend with his family, and each will be fun-filled and loving.
