Hello, I'm Erica. I've Had Cats All Throughout My Childhood But It's Been About 13 Years Since I've Last Had A Cat. My Birthday Was July 16th And On That Day I Told My Mom, "Let's Go To The Shelter!" And So We Did. Now I Had No Intentions Of Actually Getting A Kitten Because I Still Live At Home With My Parents And My Dad Has Been Opposed To The Idea Of Us Having A Pet, Hence The 13 Years That I Haven't Had One, But He Was Out Of Town So... Haha. Anyway, I Would Just Go To The Shelter To Visit When I Was Craving A Little Kitty Love So I Figured That's What This Visit Would Be Like.

Seeing That It's Summer, There Were A Lot Of Kittens In The Cages, But This Little Guy Was Insistent That I Pay Attention To Him. He Was Very Playful, Had A Lot Of Spunk And He Flipped A Couple Of Times Just To Get Me Back Over To His Cage So I Had To Ask For A Play Pass With Him.

Long Story Short, He Won Me Over So He HAD To Come Home With Me


This Is How I Met Him. Reaching Through The Cage


Play Pass Time



This Was His First Night Home. I Spent Time With Him In His "Safe Room" Before Getting Ready For Bed And For Some Reason He Loved, And Still Loves, To Get Into My Hair/On My Head


The First Couple Of Days You Could Always Find Him On My Chest. He Craved The Closeness I Suppose





I Just Love This Picture Of Him. He's So Cute!


His New Favorite Spot To Sleep Is My Laptop


He Looks Like A Black Cat, And That Wouldn't Be An Incorrect Assumption, But Everyday It Seems To Me That His Body Is Lightening Up. His Head, Tail And Paws Are A Solid Black Color, But The Rest Of His Body Has A Lighter Undercoat And Faint Stripes



Love That Face




This Was Just Last Night. Such Good Sleep!


This Picture Belongs In The Midst Of These Somewhere But This Is One Of The Few Pictures I Have Of Him Awake. Haha. You Can See All The Differences In His Coat Here


The End!

How cute! Welcome! Hopefully your dad will be happy to have another cat in the home and will react well to the news. I know our shelters and rescues here actually mandate that everyone in the household go down to the shelter or foster home at the same time to meet a new pet to make sure everyone is on board.

He looks like such a lovable kitten. Super cute. I like the picture of him on the laptop. Kittens seem to love laptops.

Adorable! Nothing wrong with calling him Pooh, could always make his "official" name Winnie or Bear!

Welcome to you both [emoji]9786[/emoji]

Thank You All!

My Dad Is Fine With Him.Turns Out He Was All Smoke And No Fire About Not Getting A Pet. He's Not A Pet Person Per Se, But He Knows My Mom And I Are Crazy Cat Ladies :)

He Seems Like He Will Be A Long Cat. He's Only 2.5-3 Months Old Right Now So Only Time Will Tell

He Definitely Loves The Laptop. So Much So That I Rarely Ever Turn It On Now Because He'll Come And Walk All Over The Keys And Cause Random Things To Pop Up.

As For The Name, I've Considered Quite A Few. Most For Nostalgic Reasons. Bageera From "The Jungle Book" And Mewtwo From Pokemon. Haha. I Lovingly Call Him "KitKat" As Well
