Jasper [3]

May 20, 2016

CareAboutCats says: I adopted Jasper from the local shelter. I went to find a buff-colored boy, but there sat Jasper, little gray boy huddled in his cage, looking at me with his soulful eyes. As soon as our eyes met, I knew I had to give him a home. They told me he was eight weeks old, but he seemed younger to me, and even now at close to 12 weeks he looks small for his age.

But no matter -- Jasper can be quite the fine hunter even though he is young. He pounces on feet and hands so I am teaching him manners by redirecting him to stuffed animals, which he plays with as if he were playing with one of his litter mates. When Jasper gets tired he goes directly to his kitty bed and takes a nap! Jasper must have been taken from his mommy too soon because he sucks on fleece and kneads as if he is nursing on his mommy. His soulful little eyes and tiny size had my heart from the time I first saw him and he has been a fun addition to our household. This sweet little boy has given me many smiles in the short time I've been honored to give him a home.

The bedspread you have in the picture seems to be the same that I have that I use to cover my two sofas to protect their fabric from the kitties. :-) Mine's a very soft, pale yellow. Nice to be able to take them off and wash them as needed.

Jasper is so handsome. I love his smooth coat, almost silky looking. I am so glad that he found his forever home.

Update: My dear sweet cat buddy went to the rainbow bridge. His kidneys failed. He had so many human friends, including my granddaughter, and he loved us all. Goodnight sweet boy.
