    Kit-Cat

    Hi.

    I’m Maximus Palmer, and my Mom thought it would be nice if I blogged about my new little brother, Kit-Cat, today.

    Yep. Apparently the kid is stickin’ around for good.

    I’m not really sure why they wanted me to announce the news though, because…well…the dude sort of weirds me out. I mean, he’s craaaaazy hyper, and according to Mom, his claws are MAD sharp. What’s up with that!? He’s always purring and trying to rub up against me, and he acts like he wants to play with me too, but that is soooo not happening. No way, José. Not with those prickly little paws.

    And get this- now that his leg is almost all better, he’s starting to act like he owns the place. Yeah…I know- total weirdo, right? He even took over my spot on the back of the couch for, like, two hours yesterday. The kids got no manners, I tell ya.

    And to top it off, he’s even started playing with one of MY toys, too.

    Mom says she doesn’t know why I care, because I “haven’t played with it one time” since they bought it for me. But still. It’s mine, and he doesn’t even know how to play with it right anyway. You’re supposed to have someone throw it for you so that you can go fetch it. Kit-Cat just attacks it…

    …and lets it attack him.

    And stares at it…

    And stares with it…

    And sometimes, he gets this REAL crazy look in his eyes, and just goes off on it…

    Just watching him play exhausts me.

    I mean, doesn’t he know that taking naps is where it’s at? Oh well.

    His loss.

    ____________________________________________

    PS- Max’s Mom here… :-) Just wanted to add that since Max hasn’t been chasing Kit-Cat, and because we’ve got a great/pet-loving house-sitter that will take care of both of our pets when we’re gone, everything is working out just fine.

    And a big thanks to everyone who emailed us about adopting him if things hadn’t gone quite as smoothly here with Max. We truly appreciate your kindness and generosity, and we’ll definitely keep you posted on how he’s doing!

      Thrilled to hear Kit-Cat has found his forever home. I know Max will end up loving him. Kitties have a way of making you love them before you are even aware of it. That’s my story and I am sticking to it, especially when asked why we have 2 dogs and 3 cats!!!

      i really was hoping you would keep him. You needed a little fur baby of the kittah kind too. I bet max and the new furry one will end up being, oh let’s say accommodating towards each other. That’s not too much to ask for. Happy new kitty-kat parenting (and max parenting too). I am so happy for Kit-Cat.

      Yah! such great news! We too, took in an injured kitten (yucky story, won’t go into details except to say Gangrene of entire hind leg, and starving). That was 3 years ago. There was just no way that our ‘foster’ kitty was ever going to leave after nursing her back to health (leg was saved, which utterly amazed me, and all she has to show for it is one tiny scar!). Bella, as my daughter named her, is our little soul mate kitty. I’m convinced they find us. My diva Lhasa Apso, also a cruelty case/foster turned adoption I daresay actually now quite enjoys her!

      Soooooooo Happy you are keeping Kit Kat ! It is so difficult to find a proper home for a creature you have nursed back to health. Hah ! I have 3 cats that started as kittens I had to bottle feed, a mini horse, a one eyed full grown horse, a one eyed toothless pug dog and 2 goats. Not to mention the feral cats that depend on me to fill their dish with food daily and chit chat with them while I feed and tend to the other critters on this Funny Farm of ours ! It is all love, peace and harrmony and I wouldn’t have it any other way ! Enjoy your new family member !

      Kit Cat could come and live with Jack and Sally (named after the Nightmare before Christmas characters). Kit Cat has almost all the same markings as Jack and Sally. We can only tell them apart by their faces, Jack has a white stripe between his eyes, Sally doesn’t, but she makes up for it by being the talkative one. We love our kitties, who are brother and sister and fight like all brothers and sisters do. Oh wait they just insisted they were playing.

      So nice to see you’ve kept the little cat you’ve saved. Now you and your husband are ” twice” heroes to him: first saving him on the road, and now for giving him a home. I just lost my sweet cat, had to put her to sleep… I just did a post on her and while my own heart is breaking, it’s nice to see your heartwarming story.

      Umm, I knew from your first post about this furry guy that he was not going anywhere. He was meant to be yours! He must have had human contact because otherwise he wouldn’t be so friendly and purry. He’s one lucky kitty cat. Bless you for taking such good care of him.

      I’m soooooooo glad you decided to add Kit-Cat to the family. I’m sure Max will be a positive influence on K-C as he grows up! Congrats to the whole family!

      I have always been a believer of “Everything happens for a Reason”. It was mean’t for you and Kevin to be at the right place at right time to save him. You’ve become parents of a lovable kitten that will love and treasure both of you and Maxx. Congrat’s !!

      I’m so glad you decided to keep Kit Kat. We had our Oreo 14 years. He was wonderful with our children and then with the “intruder”, our mini-doxie, Bo. They ended up loving each other. So happy for the addition to you precious family.. And I really love hearing from Maximus. You have a good “voice” for him.

      My chihuahua/terrier mix (Emmett) and orange tabby (Max) play together all the time – one chases one, then they turn it around and switch. Jump and tackle. It took awhile, but they’re pretty good buddies now. I hope your Max and Kit-Cat end up with the same kind of friendship. Congrats on the new furbaby!

        Hi
        I have never responded before but thought I had to tell you we had a cat that looked just like that and we named her kit cat. To me it just fit her .
        I so enjoy your blog. You are so talented and beautiful besides. I’m interested in how your adoption plans are going. I hope you comment. on that someday.

      Just wanted to pop in and tell you that our kitty came back. Remember, I left a comment on the last Kit-Cat post telling you she had gotten out and had been missing for 2 months. Well, someone found her and called.
      She is pretty skinny, but we are fattening her up quickly. We are all so happy to have her back!
      Thanks for starting off my Monday with a smile and a little chuckle!

      I had a funny feeling that Kit-Cat would be staying! He’s got a wonderful home! We aquired our “CAT” about a year ago. She was a stray that just wandered up to our front door and wasn’t the least bit afraid of the four barking dogs looking out at her from inside! She now runs the show! Aren’t pets wonderful.

      For those sharp little claws check out Softpaws nail caps… they just glue on over the claws and you replace them when they fall off. It’s super easy. They totally changed my life with my little scratcher.

      Congratulations! We rescued a sick kittent that our dog chased into a tree and they get along just fine now. May I suggest teaching your new kitten how to have his nails trimmed, once his little leg is healed of course. I started trimming our cat’s nails when he was little and it really helps with damage control to keep the sharp hooks cut back. Good luck!

      Tuxedo cats love to roam, so if Kit-Cat goes outside, he will be exploring. If you read Chez Larsson, her black and white cat, Bonus, goes away for days at a time. Such lucky pet babies you have!

      Hi Kit – Cat looks exactly like my Buttons, whom we adopted at the shelter cause she was as cute as a Button. (I guess – she came with the name) we liked her and her name – We have Baylee (cocker spaniel) and Bella (a wild kitty who we saved along with siblings – they all were adopted) but Bella hates Buttons and moved out….: ( makes me Momma so sad. But I just wanted to say Kit-Cat has an actual twin up here in Pgh., PA.
      P.S. I love your Blog, so glad I found you and hubby.

      Take Care and Good Luck with the kiddo’s…If I can send a picture of Buttons I will…I’m not that saavy here with electronics…only decorating and one day would love to start a blog. (bucket list)

Well, I am an animal lover and have 3 cats of my own, so of course I applaud you adopting Kit-Cat. Looks like he has landedin a lovely home with great people, and a brofur to boot!

      Awww, Kit-Cat reminds me so much of the tuxedo kitten we rescued 4 months ago in our bushes, Cleo. His facial markings are different but the video of him and Max looks exactly like how she plays with one of our other cats. Glad everyone’s happy together!
