On September 2, 2014, I was birding at Gemini Springs when I found a mother cat and two kittens. According to a park staffer I spoke with, the cats had been abandoned at the park. I thought we'd bring all of the cats to the humane society, but between my parents and ourselves, we kept all of them. Arthur and I kept the two ginger kittens, William and his brother Timmy.
We named Timmy after Tiny Tim, because he was the smallest kitten and seemed to be weaker and more meek and fearful than the others. He's always been more affectionate than his brother William, always ready to snuggle or receive pets and scritches. He gives the most enthusiastic head-butts! Just don't pick him up -- somehow that's the worst. All the pets and snuggles and scritches are the best though!
Timmy loves to sit on the couch with us when we are having lunch or dinner, or watching TV. He's very well-behaved and never tries to grab what's on our plates or bother us when we're eating. He watches TV with us and is the most interested when Arthur plays a program made for cats like this one with birds visiting a feeder.

If you need to have a collar on your cat, a breakaway buckle is a must. Breakaway collars are designed to stay on your cat, but will break apart if your cat gets stuck on an obstacle. This breakaway collar is adjustable not only in size but also in the breakaway weight load. This is great for growing young cats!
The Cozy Comfort Carrier is a different kind of pet carier made for cats. It's a durable carrying bag designed for comfort and ease of use, to transport your kitty in the car to places like the vet, pet hotel, or groomer.
This is a soft-sided pet carrier with a trolly handle and removeable wheels. It makes transporting your kitty on foot easy and less strenuous. Note that the carrier is not intended for air travel.
In the past we had a beautiful male tuxedo cat named Arby. He had gorgeous long hair, which unfortunately made him prone to have hairballs. Laxatone-type products were helpful in keeping his problem under control. This is a tube of Laxatone with tuna flavoring made just for cats.
