Tango

October 20, 2010

Antonia says: Tango belongs to my friends Verity and Roger, who adopted this little stray purrball from the Tompkins County SPCA, a fantastic shelter in Ithaca, New York. The majority of these pictures come from the weekend I was allowed to take care of him. He would strike at least 17 adorable poses within five minutes, most of them too fast for any camera to focus on. Kittens do everything at such high speed! Tango doesn't walk -- he bounces and leaps. He is an avid mouser and not afraid of snakes either. But when he's had enough of the outdoors, he'll come inside, roll on his back for a purr-filled belly rub, and within seconds will look as though he's been sleeping for hours. Verity and Roger hope that his newfound Daily Kitten celebrity will encourage Tango to enjoy a star's lie-in now and then rather than wake them up with face-licks every day at 5 am.

Tango is an adorable little orange kitty! Waking you up early is normal for kittens, but try giving him his biggest meal in the evening - it might help!

What a cutie! Yes, cat's are hard-wired to be active in the early hours of the morning (for hunting) and also near dusk. Then they rest all afternoon... while we're working. ;o)

I'm just loving the ear tufts on this guy. I want to bury my face in his belly fur and make motorboat noises.

He is just wonderful! I wanted to vote for the box pic but there is so little of him in it ~ what to do, what to do!

Mary Grace - 13 years, 6 months ago

OK. It had the most personality, so that is the pic I chose! All the pictures are great, though.

He is a very handsome cat and I love his name. I bet it was very hard handing him back when his owners returned! He's gorgeous!
