Are you lonely, in need of a constant companion? Then Phil’s your guy. He’s there in the morning, batting at the sink water while you brush your teeth. He’s flopped on the bed, chasing your hand while you try to smooth the covers. He’s on your desk, under your desk, maybe in your recycling box when you’re working and meows to you from the front window when you go out and come back. Phil is always *right there* when you’re making dinner, sometimes a little TOO close (watch his grabby hands – they looooove to steal raw chicken). He’s on your lap in the evening, at your feet at night, and in your heart all the time. Apply today to meet Phil!
