Hey guys! I adopted Tux from Kitty Connection in February, just a little more than a month ago, and already this apartment is more his apartment than mine. His first day home, he showed no signs of stress or fear, exploring every nook and cranny and immediately finding “his” spots. And just as much as he’s made the apartment his own, he’s adpoted me as much as I’ve adopted him. Tux is one of the sweetest kitties ever. He’s absolutely friendly with everyone and loves the attention. Any time I leave, he follows me to the door, and whenever I return, he greets me with a chorus of meows and “chirps”, so happy to see me return. In fact, whenever I close a door in the apartment (like when I need to take a shower), he calls out for me and is so excited when I come back out. The only time he uses his claws is when he’s scratching his post, kneading on a blanket when he’s content, or when he’s particularly frisky, he’ll plop over, grab my hand with his claws gently, and hold it there… so that he can thoroughly lick it. Even when playful, he’s so friendly.
Tux has one of the more curious palates I’ve seen. He wouldn’t eat for the first few days (scared the bejeesus out of me) because I didn’t get the exact kind of food he’d been used to (indoor formula versus the regular formula… nobody likes a diet!), but once I introduced his regular food again, he was more than happy to slowly switch over. He turns his nose up to most treats and most human food (which is good for me and my dinners!), but has a liking for plastic bags and my Brillo steel wool pad, so much so that I had to hide them in closed cabinets. Tux loves to play and loves to cuddle, and I have no doubt he will have a long and happy life with me. I had had my doubts when first considering adopting a cat, but now I have no doubts that I picked the perfect kitty for me. Thanks Kitty Connection!
