The last pussy cat is our newest and youngest...Kaspar...German from Kaspar Hauser. We were in our local Petsmart buying food and my hubby said he was going to look at the cats. Before I could say, "Noooooooo", he was off and the cloud of dust was all that was left. After paying for the food, I went to see what my hubby was up to which was no good. He wanted to get a pussy cat and my head hung low because I knew there was no dissuading him. I saw this quiet tuxedo cat sleeping and not doing much else and showed him to my hubby. He wanted this pussy cat so we paid for this bundle of joy. When we got back, I was not convinced to add yet another to our brood and next morning, my hubby said we would not get him. That morning, at work, all I could see in my mind was that pussy cat with one tear dropping from his cute face so I called my hubby and gave the ok.
We picked up Kaspar who was one sick kitty and we were not happy! We called Petsmart, who are connected to the Humane Society in the Niagara Region, and they told us the pussy cat came from the Fort Erie SPCA. My hubby contacted the Fort Erie SPCA, who found the little dickens on a golf course, telling them the pussy cat had a bad cold and his ears were infected with ear mites! The person he spoke with told us they have students who were to care for the animals but this was unacceptable (No kidding! They should check on the student's work). They gave us funds for the vet and we had to quarantine Kaspar until he was aok which took 3 weeks.
Now, this pussy cat turned out to not be the quiet type by any means, meowing for his pappa, his toys and, if he can get into mischief, he will. He already helped take the wallpaper down in the bedroom which made us revamp the bedroom. He likes to remodel our wood around the doors and if he tries this on the old wood, he will become a violin:) He has fallen in love with my hubby and vice versa so he gets away with murder! The water bottle does come in handy every night since he demands to be played with...often! He can run up and down the halls like Speedy Gonzalez on cocaine and then he konks out for a much needed nap...usually next to hubby. He loves receiving licks from Jade but not the paw bash right after. As my hubby says.."Kaspar, my little disaster. I'm going to send you to Jasper!" He is full of beans (both Jaspar and my hubby) and we love him...our little entertainer.
Name: Kaspar(after Kaspar Hauser)
Age: 2 years...the nutty years
Nickname: Kaspar the disaster, Cutie Patootie, Snookums, Snidely Whiplash, Hitler (My dear friend nicknamed him this).
Loves-birds outside (not allowed to be near them, just watch), be played with, belly rubs, being held (most of the time), redecorating
Toys-the string with the feathers at the end-he will jump high up to grab it. Laser, my feet under the blanket, balls of paper-he goes nuts!
Reminds me of Charlie Chaplin with that mustache. He sounds like a handful. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteHe is a handful..I should get a hat and cane
DeleteYes I can see Charlie Chaplin. Sounds like a fun pussy cat to have living with you.
ReplyDeleteHe is a lot of fun! A pain but so much love too
DeleteHe sure looks ready to always go. Sounds like quite the fun fellow too, keeping you on your toes, or biting them off, at your zoo haha
ReplyDeleteHe is always go go go. He loves to play and play and play and he can bite!
DeleteI like his mustache. Such a cute cat. Rambunctious indeed! Keeps you on your toes!
ReplyDeleteBetty
He is a cutie and he does keep us on our toes or else he may bite them
DeleteHi, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed meeting another of your kitties, Kaspar the disaster. What a cute black mustache he has! I'm sorry Kaspar was plagued with medical problems from the very start. That's no fun. I am very happy to know that you got him fixed up and that he has become a comical and mischievous member of the family. Bless his heart!
He is into everything and my hubby and I are so thrilled to have this little tyrant and that he is healthy now
DeleteFrom these photographs he looks like a cat with lots of personality. I imagine he's quite entertaining to watch.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes...he is entertaining except when he wants to scratch the wood!
DeleteHi Birgit...cute .....bet he can be a monster like all cats but we love them whatever they do.....xxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh he is a tyrant but he is so cuddly and loves my hubby!
DeleteWhat a mustache!
ReplyDeleteAt least they helped with the vet bills after passing off a sick cat.
You knew you couldn't say no...
Nope...I couldn't and I'm glad my hubby called them and gave them hell
DeleteGood stuff. I await the group pic.
ReplyDeletethe group pic will be a challenge at that!
DeleteWhat an adorable cat. I love the little mustache. It's sad how poorly some of these animals can be looked after, even in an animal protection shelter. Glad to hear he's well and very happy in your care!
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that he was not well when he was brought to Petsmart especially since he could have given it to the other cats but he is a treasure
DeleteI love his crooked mustache! Kaspar reminds me of my cat, Milo. Milo is the pain-in-the-butt.
ReplyDeleteYes, when he twirls his mustache, I know he is up to no good:)
DeleteI, too, love the mustache!
ReplyDeleteIt is unique!
DeleteYeah, I can see where Hitler came from in the first picture! But Charlie Chaplin is a much better suggestion. Kaspar is cute.
ReplyDeleteConsidering Hitler got his mustache idea from Chaplin apparently, it can be seen both ways
DeleteWhat an adorable kitty cat. Love the nick names. He certainly has a unique personality, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteOh you old softie. I was cracking up when you talked about the kitty cat with a tear in his eye.
Yup...just like the little penguin with tears that turn into little ice cubes. He touched my heart now if he would stay away from the wood!
DeleteHe looks like he has a mustache. I bet he was so docile in the store because he wasn't feeling well.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct! He was one sick pussy cat
DeleteAh what a great story. And what a cutie. Love the a skewed mustache.
ReplyDeleteHe is our cutie-Dr. Chaplin and Mr. Hitler:)
DeleteWhat a cute mustache!
ReplyDeleteit is very cute
DeleteI wish I wasn't allergic to them because I'd like to get a cat.
ReplyDeleteoh bummer because they are fun
Deleteah he looks adorable .
ReplyDeleteglad he entertains you .
cats are fun to be around
They are so much fun
DeleteWhat a lovely story and how lucky is Kaspar to have two devoted parents. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethanks-he is our bundle of fun
DeleteLOL! Cute, spunky kitty. You make me miss having a cat, but then I remember that I have a toddler, and all is right in the world.
ReplyDeleteYou have your hands full for sure! The cat is easier to handle than a toddler in my eyes:)
Delete"HITLER" -- Ha!-Ha! What a great nickname for that cat.

Yes...he can be that when he scratches
DeleteHappy Wednesday, Birgit.
ReplyDeleteI smile whenever I look at those pictures. He's such a cutie.
Cats do tend to hide their real selves until they get their forever home:)
Glad you smiled and boy! Did he hide who he was:)
DeleteSo hes a happy critter keeping everyone on their toes supplying him with toys. Kaspar will have you guys well trained to serve the needs of the tuxedo cat in no time! haha
ReplyDeleteHe already has trained us well...especially my hubby
DeleteWhile an unfortunate beginning, he's a cutie that reminds me of my old cat Sergeant.
ReplyDeleteHe is a cutie patootie as I call him or "You little brat!" :)
DeleteHe is beautiful - and I love his mo.
ReplyDeleteCats rule - or they do in our house anyway.
All the animals rule for sure
DeleteOh he's so sweet! I love that you call him Kaspar the disaster. We have a cat named Daisy and we call her Crazy Daisy as she's a constant nut and always causing trouble somewhere. Maybe I could send her to you. You'd have a heck of a time keeping up with the both of them.
ReplyDeleteCrazy Daisy is perfect but one is enough...thank you and we have 5 cats so we are truly insane
DeleteKaspar is handsome. His black spot above his mouth reminds me of Groucho's mustache. hahahaha. I've enjoyed reading about your furry family. They're fortunate to be with you and your Husband.
ReplyDeleteI can see why your friend call him Hitler, but he is such a beautiful cat! And he reminds me of the one I had when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteHe is a cutie! I have to thread very carefully when I visit PetSmart because of their darn cats. It takes an extreme amount of self control to not bring a cat home every time I go there.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a cat with 'tash! You certainly have a thing with PetSmart!
ReplyDeletehugs, Asha
