Little Man Is Hillsborough's Pet Of The Week

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Meet Little Man! He has been chosen as Hillsborough Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is our cat. His official name is Little Man but we usually just call him Dude or Buddy. He just turned 20 years old. He was found as a kitten abandoned by his mama. He has had a long, interesting life where he has moved 5 times and during one of the moves ran away for four months. He came back on a rainy night as if he had never left. We will never know what he was doing all that time.

In the winter, he loves to snuggle and sleep in bed with mom and dad. In the summer, he's usually on his own. His favorite thing to do is curl up on the couch and sleep for most of the day. Despite being so old, he can still jump up there! He is one in a million and we love him so much."
