More of What We're Looking For

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.
