Jasper

CareAboutCats says: *UPDATE. It is now Decemer 2011 and I have had Jasper for a few months. He isn't the lovebug that I hoped for, but he is adorable and I love him. He likes to attack my feet when I walk past him. He hides under the bed, behind the bedspread and jumps out at me as I get ready for work. He likes his chin rubbed and sometimes he lets me do that. I hope as he grows up he will be less of a "little monster" and more of a laid back dude! ** 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 8 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 re-directing 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.
