Hi everyone.
New here but he's my first furry baby so thought I'd join a community for support.
This is Pascal.
He's approximately 6 months old, and as you can see from the picture he is HUGE. Far cry from when I rescued him, he was 4 weeks and 500 grams. GRAMS. You could feel every bone in his tiny body. Now he's massive and thriving but I thought I'd share his cute face and strange behaviour.
He likes to get in the freezer.
He will try ANYTHING to get cheese.
He likes to sleep upside down.
He likes to bark at the fish.
He will also try anything for crisps.
He makes people noises when he sleeps/stretches.

Despite his bad start he is a hardman. He came home in my handbag and integrated immediately. I set him down on the sofa and he just looked at me like "Sup guys what we watchin?"
Having never owned a kitty before I had no idea that they had so much personality. Is my baby normal or is he as weird as I think he is?

Welcome to TCS.  
  Pascal looks a lot like my Ozzy.  As a kitten, Oz was thin and tall and now at 5 years old, he's a very long tall cat.  Looks like Pascal may grow into a tall boy, too.

He sounds like an amazing character!  How fun to have a cat that barks at fish and sleeps upside down.  I don't think there's a 'normal' with cats, honestly.  
   They're all so different, each with a unique personality.

He's a character. He tweets like a bird when I come in and he is a real lap cat. We discovered that he likes to sleep upside down when I left a fluffy duvet out and he got into his belly up position. I thought it was strange because I read that they don't like to expose their bellies but like I said he's always been a bit of a idgaf hardman LOL

Oh darn it! I have HUNDREDS of pictures of him like that. The vet says he's gonna be a big boy and I happy with his progress, but I have no idea what size he will grow to be. Although his paws could be classed as tiny hands, he basically has fingers. I genuinely had no idea how much there is to a kitty though. He's picked up my habit of singing aimlessly while pacing the house.

He's one handsome boy! His markings are almost identical to my Sarah Jane's, down to the "Halley's Comet" nose streak!

You know I've seen a lot of kitties with similar markings, especially the white streak only on one side of their noses. Can't really see on the picture but he has the faintest grey tiger stripes on the sides of his belly and tail, we're hoping they'll pull through some more, but it's anyones guess at this point ha.
