When
our vet's office called to tell us about a kitten they had for
adoption, we were torn; we just lost the world's sweetest cat four
months earlier to chronic renal failure. It seems that someone had found
this tiny, tabby kitten in a puddle after a hurricane brushed by South
Florida. He was a mouthy little guy with a personality about 100 times
his size! Estimated to be three weeks old, he could use the litter box
and suck up wet cat food like there was no tomorrow. Something had
happened to his tail: the end was missing and it was crooked and
gnarled. We thought he was cute but we were not quite sure... The vet
also had a larger kitten: shiny and black with copper eyes, they
estimated him to be six months old. He yowled and reached out from his
cage to grab us so we took him out to play. The cat seemed real sweet so
we took him home for a test drive. We decided to adopt this one and the
vet agreed to keep him till we returned from vacation.
The next day, we called the vet back and said we would take them both!
What a blessing these two boys have been! Felix is the sweetest,
goofiest, most loveable cat I have ever met! He murmurs and trills at
every movement and even chases me through the house, leaping up to grab
me. Felix just gazes into my eyes with a look of love! He is quite an
accomplished fuzzy ball player and even gets a new fuzzy out of the
basket on the bookshelf whenever he loses one! Oscar has grown up to be
really sweet, too. He has the most gorgeous tabby markings with little
vest buttons on his chest which earned him the nick-name "Teeny-weeny,
Itty-bitty, Polka-dotted-belly Kitty". He quickly learned to hold his
own with Felix and
Gracie. Even
Annie, the matriarch of our gang, will hold him down for a face bath.
Little Oscar is now a holy terror, eating house plants and stealing
things from the bathroom counter but his innocent little face keeps him
out of trouble!
