That Darn Cat!

Our cat has the funkiest (and I mean that in the best way) personality of any cat I've ever had. He is hilarious. This was after dinner this evening while I was cleaning up the kitchen. Maybe the crockpot was still a little warm, but he found it to his liking and settled in for a while.

He had a little operation last week, and unfortunately had a minor complication a few days later. We took him to the ER late one night and, although his issue was minor, when the vet offered to have Koa stay overnight, I agreed. We picked him up the next morning, and the vet tech who brought him out to us said he was the "coolest cat in the hospital" and he didn't want him to go home. Yep, that's Koa!

The last cat I had was kind of a neurotic mess, so it's refreshing to live with a cat that's so cool. I have learned that there is a plus to picking an adult feline over a kitten, and that is that their temperament is easier to see in the short time you have with them at the shelter. All kittens are super cute, but what are they going to be like when they are a cat? Only time will tell.

When he's not hanging out in the crockpot, he's following us around, initiating affection, begging for food, or napping on my bed.

Michaela calls him "Smudgy Face". He puts up with a lot from her with much patience, but also watches over her in an almost dog-like way.

I'm kinda crazy about that darn cat. He's my kitty boy and my buddy.
