ALPENA, Mich. — Today’s pets of the week are Clam, Goby, Marlin, and Smelt.

Our first pets today are a pair of brothers: Clam and Coby. Clam is adventurous and playful, but terrified of the camera. His favorite toys are ping–pong balls that make a nice clattering sound. Clam’s got a great sense of balance, and takes advantage of it to pounce on anything he considers prey.

Next we have Goby. He’s a little more introverted than his brother and prefers to play around in his own little corner. He’s also a bit territorial, but being your brother’s favorite pouncing target will do that to you. Watching these two brothers go at it is like watching a game of cat and mouse. Only, instead of a mouse, there’s a second cat.

Now say hello to Marlin. This 3–month–old fella is a real explorer who checks out every nook and cranny of a new environment. He’s also very friendly. He’ll accept petting, but only for a few seconds so he can get back to his quest. And just look at those hazel eyes. How can you not want to bring him home?

Finally, we have Smelt. It’s very obvious this four–year–old gentleman is a longhair mix. His fluffy coat is a delight to pet, and he’s actually quite the climber. A cat house or two would be a good investment if you bring him home.
