We’d like to add two families for honorable mentions. Thanks to everyone who participated in the second Seattle’s Child Family Pet Contest. Please keep us up to date on your family’s animal adventures!
The cat (above)!
Cleo is a calico exotic shorthair who joined her family, including 8-year-old twins Tate and Lucy Naismith, in July on Mercer Island. She loves playing with a crumpled Post-it note, and is already a Seahawks fan.

The lizard … and four other pets!
This house in northwest Seattle’s Broadview neighborhood is an exciting place for pets and people. Kids Indie and Miles Morse have a lot to do other than online learning, since they have a dog (Gouda), a cat (Orangey), two chickens (Peep and Chippy) and one bearded dragon (Spike) on the premises.
