OUR LOVING CATS

There was one then two and so on till there were thirteen. (Neutered Male) This is Mario Lemew (hey our vet thought it was a cute name to) that was born on the 4th of July of 2008. I'm not sure of his patriotism but as a kitten he has to be the spring loaded version of a feline. When we saw him at the Detroit Zoo's 'Come meet your best friend at the zoo' we fell in love with his antics in the cage. On the way home he was busy in the carrier playing with a ball. Little did we know what was in store when the carrier door was opened. Any one ever pulled the pin on a grenade and stepped back. Destruction has never crossed his mind but new friends and a new place to live with cat toys and a cat hotel was to his liking. He had to be taken to the vet for a sore leg and general check up. The vet said he would be fine and he was just hanging by it while playing. Mario made friends with Sport soon after arriving and those two become a tornado while chasing each other. Mario has gotten just about all the cats revved up no matter what their age. He has become a ladie's man with all the females. Even the mouser with her attitude gets along with him best she can. A lot of cats would run after being hissed at and/or swatted but not Mario. He comes back for more till Cassie gives up and just sits down to the daily feeding in the morning. He has seen winter come along with Thanksgiving and Christmas. He didn't go up the tree as we expected but he enjoyed all the stuff that's put out under it. Easter is approaching now and the decorations are enticing. Mario is not at all destructive but has to see what everything is. My wife's getting ready for work is when throwing his favorite ball to play fetch or turning on the red dot to be chased has to come into play. He shows his happiness on her days off so he must be trying to keep her from leaving each day. Excuse the lack of many if any pictures of him as sitting still and being awake is rare. This first 6 months has been interesting to say the least. Mario like others must have been destined for a life of luxury with the rest of the gang.
