Kate’s friend

Nickname:  Lil Kitty / Trash cat (he loves to knock over our trash cans)

How did my parents find me? We actually say that Tilly found Lil. There were two doors on our old house, one on the front and one on the side. I couldn't tell if it was me or not when I heard sounds coming from the side door. Tilly kept sniffing near that door and begging me to come. In the walkway to the side door, I saw the tiniest kitten. Before it ran into the street, I ran out the front door to catch up with the kitten. As soon as it saw me, the kitten ran right into my arms, so I picked him up and brought him inside. The poor thing was covered in fleas, hungry, thirsty, just looking for someone to love him. I have never seen a little kitten so appreciative. I originally named him Lillian, but the vet said he was a boy, so we shortened his name to Lil.

What are my favorite foods? Literally anything, edible or otherwise

What are my favorite things to do? Knocking everything off of counters; Sprinting around the house; Jumping onto people's backs and shoulders; Cuddling with Tilly

Kate’s friend

Age: 3

Birthday: July 3 

Nicknames: Odi, Chonk Boi, Chonk Chonk

How did my parents find me? On an extremely hot morning in Louisville, Alex was on his way home from the local coffee shop with drinks for us. He was sitting at a red light right around the corner from our house at the time. At the light, he saw a little grey furball sprint across the street. The kitten was hiding under the car's undercarriage after running under it. As soon as he called me, I grabbed a cardboard box and a towel. He was on his back on the hot concrete trying to get the kitten out when I arrived. We finally managed to get the kitten out, and it ran off. After running after him, we captured him and placed him in the cardboard box with the towel. As our first cat had just passed away, Odin immediately became a family member. We bottle fed him for a month until he was old enough to eat on his own.

What are my favorite foods? Dry cat food (it's wild) and Temptations Squeezable Puree

What are my favorite things to do? Hiding under fresh sheets; There is 1 toy that Odin is obsessed with, it's a small plastic ball on a round track. He lays on the floor and smacks the ball around in perfect timing to keep it whipping around; LOVES being held, will yell at us until we pick him up and walk him around the house.
