A New Addition To The Family

I am playful and loving. I seek love and affection. I would shine in any home with lots of attention! I am not a good kitty to leave alone for long periods. Noises and commotions are fine. I get along with other cats and tolerate small dogs, just not the yappy ones. My eye is a bit squinty, that is just the way I was born.

How could we possibly say no to this face?

Not content with our animal encounters at Stanley Park, I suddenly felt a strong compulsion to visit our local SPCA. Just to look, I told Sean. But really, who were we kidding? There is a reason why Sean and I don’t go to the SPCA. The last time we did, Sean fell in love with Jonesy and by the next day, she was ours.

This time, it was me who fell in love with Peanut. In fact, I believe our encounter was meant to be. Here was a kitty named Peanut and my nickname for all kidlets and animals is Peanut. How do I not take that as a sign?

After getting the necessary permission from my landlord, Sean and I went back the next morning (right when the SPCA opened) to adopt this 4 month year old kitteh.



Within minutes of being his humans, this is what we know. Peanut loves and craves attention and affection. Like the first cat I ever had, he is needy and likes to stick close to us. He hates riding in cars. He’s very vocal and chatty. He likes the cool and smooth surface of the bathtub. (but doesn’t like water) He loves to play.


Playtime with Peanut.

Kitty bonding time. Literally bonding right up on me.

And of course, since little Peanut IS only a kitten, all the excitement eventually tuckered him out.

Welcome to our family, little one.
