We've lost four cats in less than a year. All to just gettin old. I've kinda been on the lookout for an unaltered male kitten or adolescent. I know Kitty wants one more litter of kittens. We have an unspayed female we've been holdin out on. I finally found one and he's just right. He's a little badass, too. Fearless, he runs right up against Scruff and just growls and swats. Scruff is about four times his size. We named him Billy, after our friend who died from injuries from a motorcycle accident last year. Billy was a Billy bad ***, and so is the kitten, so it's pretty fitting. Found him on Facebook needing a home so we gave him one. lol Here he is after playing hard....and he does play HARD.

I dont know /remember the kind of cat , but my daughter in laws parents bought some kind of cat that was almost 3 feet long , not counting its tail , and stood a couple of feet high , had really long hair and looked like a perfect watch cat. It got tick fever and died recently , think they paid $500 for it ----------------
 
Nice coloration, kinda reminds me of someone. I know he found a good home.
 
Even boxing in his sleep! I bet he can jump. He looks long and lean.

He is. he has huge feet for his size. He's gonna be a big one. He looks more like a lion cub in the face than a domestic cat. I think he'll be a perfect sire.
 
:thumbsup: Billy looks like my old buddy Skeeter, the one I told the story about dragging a litter of feral kittens out of an old car. Orange Tabbies rule....literally! Glad you go a new kitty, and I'm sure Billy has probably figured out what a good home he found. :)
 
We got a potential new family member too, but She's a Corgi.

Test driving her because our kid's have a new baby and also have a Husky.
Corgi barks too much for them. So far she's been acceptable on that front with us.

Our existing crew of cats is still dealing with it- each in their own way.

Dog is sweet and checks off a lot of the boxes on my "what I'd like in a dog" list.
Everything I've read says they should be good with cats.
So far it's been mostly them and not her, but she does like to try to get up in their face.
She did that to our most senior and he swatted.
That relationship is now firmly established.

The rest of them run the gamut from "unfazed" to "terrified".

You know as soon as you have a litter of kittens a box of them will appear near your house.

lol....it is what it is. We'll love them all if that happens. We've had as many as 17. It was tough but we managed. lol

That's funny. With cats the relationship is subject to "change" at any moment. lol We had two that were mortal enemies at first. Now they are almost best buddies.
 
Beautiful cat! I love those yellow tabby cats, I had one as a family member growing up, they have always been special to me.
