Happy Gotcha Day Peter!!!

It was two years ago today I adopted a 6-month-old feral male kitten, thinking it would take weeks or even months for him to come around. By his second day at home, he was playing, coming to me for affection and curling up next to me. He's since grown into an incredibly sweet, playful, goofy boy. Happy Gotcha Day Peter!

Here's Pete a few weeks after I adopted him:






And now:

Happy Gotcha Day Super Pete!! what a handsome boy!!

Thanks, everybody! Pete's a pretty special boy.
Can you believe the first people who adopted him returned him saying he was "viscious?" There's not viscious bone in my sweet Pete!

Peter is adorable Eileen!!! He just has such an expressive face. The people who returned him must've done something to him to make him mean....isn't Peter the one who runs away from the foster kittens?

Thanks so much! Yeah, that's my "brave" boy who's scared of the fosters. He's so silly! We're not exactly sure what happened in Pete's first home. He was probably scared and reacted like a feral kitten would and the people perceived his behavior as vicious. I've never heard him his or growl. He's just too sweet!

Awwwwww Peter dont you look so happy and look to be content exactly where you are

Happy Gotcha Day, Baby!
