Presley (n.n.'s: Donut, Nugget) is the smallest of the littermates. But the biggest on personality and the one who gets himself into all sorts of predicaments. He has used up three of his nine lives, literally. And I am thankful I was home during each of the following events or I would have never gotten over it. All three of these incidences have to do with choking. The first used up life was on a kitchen chair with the slats for the back. He was climbing up the back of the chair and got his head through the biggest part of the opening and then slid down to the tighter part and started to panic and choke. I came running and saw him in distress and had to slide his body back up the chair to the larger opening and then slip his head back out. Used Life #2... I had one of those stretchy kitten collars on my kittens and they had tags on. Presley was laying on the floor heat register and his tags got caught in the slats of the register. The door bell rang and off he ran with heat register in tow. As he ran the collar turned and turned with the heavy register and cut off his air supply. I grabbed the scissors and had to cut off that collar to save his life. If I wasn't home when this happenned he would have been choked to death. It makes me cry to even talk about this. Thank you God and I got rid of those collars. Only breakaways please. Used Life # 3: I bought one of those stick on the window dangling toys for cats. Well of course Presley got too wild with it and it twirled around and around his neck!! and he was hanging from it still stuck on the window. So in the garbage that toy went. Don't leave interactive toys out with kitties and even the ones you hang on the windows are dangerous.

Presley is the most loving kitty. He loves to snuggle and nurse on my neck. I am trying to teach him not to do this and he is getting better about it the older he gets. He plays very very hard with the other's and Pip Daddy (my referee) has had to knock him down a notch a few times. Presley is a real talker and mews and complains alot. He cannot jump on counters or tables as he doesn't have very good balance at all. I think that is why he gets in these dangerous situations often, even when he jumps and falls off balance. Silly little darling. I love to snuggle with him and love him to pieces.

Arrival Story:

Presley was rescued from an abandoned barn with his siblings and mother. The boarders of the barn just moved out without a care for the cats living there. Made me so mad!!! I rescued/adopted three of the last siblings that didn't get adopted. All three are so different and Presley was a last minute adoption even though I know I didn't need another one!! But I don't regret it for a second. He is the most loving and affectionate of the three and he is quite unique in his personality.

Favorite Food & Treats:

cheese crackers, pounce treats, cheerios, french bread, bacon.

Green feather toy with ball, Blue feather mouse, catnip makes him crazy!! Da bird too.
