"He loves to play. He purrs a lot. And of course, he's a cat: he loves to eat and he loves to snooze."

Paul, who's also a photographer, loved taking snaps of Percy and often shared them on his Facebook. Because of his adorable pictures, the cat gained a significant following on the platform.

In February 2017, Paul had one of the worst scares of his life while they were at a truck stop in Ohio. When he woke up in the morning, the passenger window was down, and Percy was nowhere to be found.

This had happened before, usually when there was a bird outside. This time, however, Percy didn't come out even when he called out to him and scoured the area near the rest stop. Worse, the weather report that day said that a storm was coming.
