I work as a nanny. The family I work for has a cat that lives outside. I noticed her one day and thought, "Is she pregnant?" Sure enough, a few days later, I came to work to find baby kittens.

There was one that stole my heart immediately. He was the cutest one of the litter with brown, black, and white in his fur. He is super fluffy and has this face that is unreal. I would hold him every day and say, "Do you want to come home with me??" He couldn't though. My grandma didn't want cats in the house, which is why I didn't move my cat here.

6 weeks later, I came to work to find that 3 of the 5 were gone. My little kitty was still there. That was it. I had to have him. I was going to work this out. I called my mom and we discussed it. I called my grandma and told her my idea to send him to Missouri with her in 2 weeks and he can live there with my other cat until I get married. She said yes, knowing how much I miss my cat and unable to deprive me of this little guy.

He came home with me that day. The second Grandma saw his face, she felt the same way I did when I first saw it. It is the cutest face ever!! It ended up costing too much to take him on the plane to Missouri, but he had proved himself enough to stay. He is a very good kitty and I stay on top of the scratching and little box. He has been very fun to have around the house and I'm so happy to have a kitty with me again.

He is super playful and sooo loving!! He follows me everywhere! If he can't find me, he meows really loud and walks around. Then I call him and he runs to me and starts kissing me. He sleeps on me, no where else. He begs for food like a dog. I've never seen a cat want human food so bad. He BEGS! He loves pens and giving kisses. I love him.






First day at home.


He will not sleep next to me. He has to be on me.

He is quite the pest with my stuff. He knocks the stuff off of my table several times a day and I had to move all my valuables to a very high place.














Paint on his forehead. He absolutely cannot be in the same room as me when I'm painting. He ALWAYS gets it on him and everything else.

He is obsessed with that hole in the sink. He plays with it all the time. Then the second he feels like his hand is getting stuck, he meows. I also laugh when he squeezes through the bathroom door to come inside. Once he's through, he turns around and swats the door frame, like it was attacking him.

He sits in the bathroom when I shower. Then when I'm done, he hops in the tub and gets his feet wet. Here is a wet paw print on the bathroom rug.

He has to be with me all the time, even when I'm getting ready.




My sister-in-law edited some photos for me. Here is one of them. I have missed having a cat so much. I'm so grateful that he's such a good kitty and was able to stay. My grandparents really like him. I love feeling a cat walk across the bed or snuggle up for a nap. Their little faces, meows, and purring warm my heart.
