The time since has been the only time in my adult life that I haven't owned a cat. More specifically an orange, male cat. I've had Marmalade, Schmert (full name Schmerticus Von Mordecai Bom-Bom Bickie Boo-Woo), Chino, Puck, & lastly Mushu. We also had Kung POW! but she was a black female cat.
When Chucky started working at a new tattoo shop late last year there just happened to be a pet store next door. I told him that yes we could get a new cat (as if I don't have my hands full enough with our two Pitt Bulls & Plott Hound) if he could find a short-haired orange male kitten.
It took eight months & we haven't yet named him so he can't be properly introduced, but ... look what Chucky brought home from work on Saturday.
I forgot how full of energy they are, I made him some special little sugar skull toys filled with crinkly plastic (from the plastic seals that come on top of our gelato) & catnip. Elvis is a little jealous, he's been the baby of the house for three years ... he keeps stealing Kitty's toys & hoarding them on his corner of the bed with his favorite frisbee.
Sorta cute. I think Gingersnap is a cute name, Chucky likes Wonton ... my five year old niece, Sequoya, thinks his name should be Orange Cat. I'm sure we'll settle on something soon.
He's SO cute! I love that Elvis is snatching his toys. That's equally as cute. What will you do about the neighbor? Is he still spraying? Does he know that he killed Mushu?
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to do about the neighbor, honestly! We live so far out in the middle of nowhere that it usually isn't an issue, he only recently started paying any attention to the meadow between our houses at all. I did let him know about Mushu, though he didn't really have anything to say about it. This kitty is just going to be strictly indoorsy (safer with the coyotes, coons & foxes that way too).
Deleteoh my gosh he is so cute! i love orange kitties too! i wish i had one. travis had one growing up named ben furr.
ReplyDelete:) isn't he just sweet! Ben Furr is an amazing name for anything!
DeleteOh my goodness he's SO cute! I love orange kitties (maybe it's because I'm a ginger). I wish we could get another cat, but ours insists on being the head of the household and doesn't like other animals :(
ReplyDeleteI was a bit worried about our dogs, which is why we chose a kitten & now, less than a week later they all snuggle up together on the bed & couch. My Mushu was quite the king of the castle as well, they can be so snooty at times.
DeleteAww! He is just adorable! Gorgeous photographs :)
ReplyDeleteI never got to see my cat as a kitten, as I adopted her when she was almost a year old. I'm certain she was adorable though! :)
