Remember last summer when Kelly and the boys ambushed me with a kitten from the Humane Society? The cat we already had was aloof and independent. I like that about Athena. But the boys wanted something more, well, interactive. And with a playful little kitten that's exactly what they got. We even read in an old waiting room-copy of Cat Fancy Magazine that his breed - Snowshoe - is the most people friendly of all cats.
Well, Apollo is almost fully grown now, and he encompasses all of the traits I feared would make him a nuisance.
We've had to take him to the vet twice already to repair a torn paw caused by what the vet described as clumsiness and a lack of coordination - unusual in a cat, he added.

| Red eyed in the Cone of Shame |

|
He stalks and attacks the other pets.
 |
| Bunny wrestling* |
He goes places he really shouldn't.
 | | |
| When it's on spin it's like a hotel bed with Magic Fingers |
|
|
His curiosity gets him into trouble.
 |
| I wonder.... |
But somehow it's easy for me to forget about all of his faults knowing he's exactly what the boys were looking for in a cat.
Oh and he still labors under the delusion that I like him.
