11-12-18 pet spot

Onyx, a 3-year-old cat, was found at a park in Festus and has since become part of the Jackson family.

Onyx, now 3, is shown in a favorite spot at the Jackson home in Festus in a photo taken in October 2017.

“It’s a cat perch or, maybe they call it a cat tree,” Wade Jackson said. “She likes to lay there.”

Onyx is a short-haired tabby.

“We actually found her in a park in Festus, and she was crying,” he said. “No identification. She was a sad little kitten.”

She has becone an affectionate addition to the household, Jackson said.

“We call her a snuggler,” he said. “She’s a loving cat, for sure. She loves to snuggle. She’s turned out to be a very good pet.”
