Pet of the Week – Page 4 – iSchool Help Desk

Alan the Leopard Gecko

This week’s Pet of the Week is Alan!

Alan is a small leopard gecko, but don’t let his size fool you! He can be found running all over their tank at any given hour. Alan also frequently challenges his neighbor (a future PotW pet!) to frequent dance-offs! We need to see one of these dance-offs ASAP. Big thanks to Adam and Siggi for sending us this cute gecko!

BFFs 4 LYF: Cooper + Diane

Cooper and Diane are this week’s iSchool Help Desk Pets of the Week! This bonded set of siblings are best friends, but they couldn’t be more different! Cooper (upper left) is a cuddly little lapcat who isn’t afraid to show affection, while Diane (lower right) plays it cool and aloof. She’s an avid birdwatcher and likes to play hide-and-seek with empty plastic shopping bags.

A “Silly Old Bear” of a Cat: Winston aka Pooh Bear

This week’s iSchool Pet of the Week is Winston!

Winston’s owner, Jordan, often refers to him as Pooh Bear, maybe because he’s a silly old bear? Maybe because he’s cuddly and loves honey? Maybe all of the above! Either way, this cat is bear-y cute and we at the Help Desk love his little fangs!

Cinder is this week’s iSchool Pet of the Week!

Lovely lady Cinder is a pleasantly plump little kitty who maintains good relationships with everyone, even her veterinarian. She’s a bit demure but that doesn’t stop her from getting into trouble from time to time. Instead of meowing, Cinder softly ‘honks’ and head-bumps for attention. She accepts forehead kisses in return.

This “Crazy Train” of a cat is “off the rails” cute 😊

This week’s iSchool Help Desk Pet of the Week is Ozymandias (aka Ozy)! If you look up Ozymandias on Wikipedia, his page is cross-listed with the word “hubris.” Ozy strives to live up to this legacy daily. Ozy often preoccupies himself with stalking outside birds from the sidelines of his living room, waiting for an opportune moment to bash his face into the window in an attack.

Lucky Cat

This week’s iSchool Pet of the Week is Cat!

Cat is here to send you off to Spring Break and wish you a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We hope that this year you’ll be as lucky as Jordan is to have such a cute kitty and you will find your own special pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And how could one not be lucky to have such a beautiful tortie as Cat? Be sure to look out for Cat’s feline brothers as they will be featured as iSchool Pets of the Week in the near future!

Nimbus needs your attention ASAP PLZ

This week’s iSchool Help Desk Pet of the Week is Nimbus!

Nimbus is a grown lady cat, but she may never stop acting like a kitten. According to her owners, Adam and Siggi, Nimbus has exactly zero chill, patience, or self-preservation and often takes to trotting up and down the hallways crying loudly for someone to please, for goodness’ sake, come and play! This little fur-ball of pure energy will make sure there is never a dull moment in her household.

Friday Boba and Tea

Hope that y’all had a lovely week! Boba is here to send you off onto your weekend. He is a dwarf hamster who loves exploring the hallways of his home in his hamster ball. He dislikes it when his human disrupts his habitat to clean and will squeak loudly to express his annoyance.
