Hello everyone! I have enjoyed this site for many months now and finally thought it was time to start posting.
I grew up a dog lover my whole life. I never really cared for cats too much until this past January when me and my wife saw a add in a local newsletter for free kittens. My wife wanted one sooo bad! So, we called the guy that had the ad and he told us that he had one kitten left, but wasn't sure of the sex. We got directions to his house and drove over an hour to meet him.
When we walked in, he brought out the cutest kitten I had ever layed eyes on! My wife fell instantly in love. The one thing I noticed is that when we first picked the kitten up, he was VERY tame and sweet. He just layed in my arms, didn't scratch, squirm or anything! We took him (at the time we thought it was a her) home and I fell in love almost overnight.
A couple days later we learned that our kitten was in fact a he! It took me about 3 seconds to come up with a name.. Jack! From day one, Jack has been the best thing that has entered our lives ever, seriously. He has grown VERY attached to me, as I have to him. I love him dearly and look at him as he is one of my children.
The main thing that everyone loves about Jack is how sweet he is. Every single night he sleeps right above my head, on the bed. He will stay there, sleeping on his back with his little feets up in the air, until we wake up. It doesn't matter if we wake up at 7am or noon, he's right there snoozing above my head. He has never caused any problems at all. He only scratches on his post, has NEVER had a accident outside of his litter box, never tries to run out the door when we open it, never hides or runs away and never gets mean.
I do apologize if I'm rambling, but a year ago if you told me that I'd be this much in love with a cat, I'd told you you were nuts! Every day I love him more and more, and he does the same.
Here are a few pics of him!
This is normally what Jack does 90% of the time. He lays in his chair, and if you walk past him, he will roll over on his back and want his belly and neck scratched! Too cute
No need to buy Jack any kind of expensive toys. Drag a piece of string accross the floor and he will come running and attack it in a matter of seconds! He also LOVES milk carton rings that come under the cap. Toss one down on the kitchen floor and he can hear it hit from the other room! He will stay in the kitchen for HOURS just batting it around and chewing it all up! lol
Another good shot showing off what he does best!
And finally here is a nice little video.

(I apologize for the music in the background. I work from home and like to listen to music as I work. I didn't plan on taking this video, I just happen to walk past, thought he was cute and grabbed my camera, lol)
Again, sorry if I seem like I'm bragging or rambling. Jack is my best friend and I love him dearly. I honestly never knew how much happiness cats can bring you. You can also see when they love you back. It's a wonderful thing.
Thanks everyone for reading this
I plan on being around here for a long time!
