Zeus [redux]

Zeus is a three-month-old black tabby kitten with a personality that melts our hearts and makes us laugh. He is a little force of nature with unstoppable energy. We now understand what bouncing off the walls actually looks like! He is also very generous with affection when he shifts into low gear. He has big, beautiful, copper eyes and a silky sable-colored coat with black shadow stripes. His toes look like tiny kalamata olives. He has a thin white line around his mouth that creates the visual impression that he is puckering up to kiss or say “oooooh." He is all legs, ears and tail right now. We will often wake up to him using us as terrain as he chases and pounces on his nine-inch tail. (Yes, we measured it while he was sleeping). He has taught us that virtually anything can be used as a toy, that a kitten will eat fresh raw peas if you turn your back for one moment, and that sleeping deeply is an art to be savored.
