Spike

April 29, 2010

John says: My girlfriend and I regularly foster kittens for Panora P.E.T.S. here in Iowa, and Spike was one of our foster kittens a couple of years ago. He is still living with us, as he decided he needed to be part of our family -- currently eight cats, an old red Doberman, and a big Angora bunny. Oh, yes, and two people too! Spike has just turned two years old and is still every bit as cute and kittenish as he ever was. He loves his crinkle ball and playing the "under the door" game with the other cats. Ambushing people from under the stairs is another favourite game. He has one of the smiliest faces I have ever seen on a cat, and he waves his tail about, almost as if he were a dog.

Such a sweet face. Almost looks like my kitty and she also loves her crinkle balls.

Reminds me of Puss-N-Boots off of the movie Shrek (either 2 or 3 I can't remember). Too cute for words.

In this first picture, Spike looks terrified, but he is already a heart grabber. So endearing.

Spike, I see why your foster parents made you a permanent part of their family. Kudos to you John for helping out the animals in my good home state of Iowa!!
