00:00 I've never seen anything like this.
00:01 Show me.
00:02 Let's do it!
00:03 He is a big learner.
00:04 He's just so smart.
00:05 My name is Jeff, and this is Leonard's story for GeoBeats.
00:11 My wife broke her leg at one point, and that's when we first got Leonard.
00:15 Goal!
00:17 She was able to spend a lot of time with him at home.
00:20 Good boy.
00:22 Jump!
00:23 Good boy!
00:25 This is rough.
00:29 She had a really strong bond with him.
00:32 He warmed up to me a lot.
00:47 Ta-da!
00:50 A lot more than she wanted, probably.
00:52 So, in the morning, he'll jump on my chest, and he'll rub his face up against my nose.
00:58 He'll cuddle with me.
01:02 I go to pet him, and I get slashed.
01:04 And in the evening time, it's the same thing.
01:09 He'll jump up on my lap, and he'll meow.
01:11 Leonard knows a lot of tricks.
01:14 He's super talented, but it depends on Leonard and how Leonard's feeling that day.
01:18 He's pretty unique.
01:22 Leonard was originally adopted by my stepdaughter.
01:25 Which one?
01:26 He was at a shelter.
01:27 He was a litter of cats.
01:29 He's a black cat, so he didn't get adopted right away.
01:31 And I think all the other cats did get adopted.
01:34 Eventually, our stepdaughter picked him up.
01:36 I love black cats, and I was kind of shocked when I heard people didn't want to adopt black cats.
01:41 I think they're really pretty.
01:43 I mean, he looks like a little panther.
01:44 When my stepdaughter moved, she couldn't have pets.
01:47 The place that she moved into did not allow cats.
01:50 So we took Leonard, and we took him in, and we fell in love with Leonard, and we ended up keeping Leonard.
01:56 She's like, "Oh, he wants to be with you more, because he'll curl up in my lap, and he'll sit there for a while."
02:06 He's a pretty smart cat.
02:11 Looking at birds today, kitten?
02:17 Let me see.
02:19 I love when he comes into the room in the morning and snuggles up with me.
02:22 I'm not a kitten.
02:23 But it's funny that he does that with me in the morning and doesn't do it with his mom,
02:28 because his mom will come in, and she's like, "I haven't seen Leonard all morning."
02:32 And I said, "I have. He's been with me all morning. He hasn't been with you."
02:36 According to Cat Mom, I'm his favorite, and that makes me a little nervous.
02:46 But I'm okay with that in the end.
02:48 [Laughter]
02:49 [Music]
