Jasper [redux]

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.
