introducing Hobbes

Introducing the newest member of my kitty clan, Hobbes.




He's from the Wisconsin Humane Society, he's three months old, and he came with the name. Another male orange tabby kitten with a great name seemed like a good fit for us and our boys.

This guy has an insane amount of energy, even for a kitten. Apollo and Ares had an insane amount of energy as kittens and still do as adult cats but Hobbes is on a whole different level. To give you an example, the only way he'll fall asleep when people are around is in someone's lap. Otherwise he's way too excited to calm down on his own. Apollo and Ares never went through anything that extreme.

It's been an adjustment for all of us, but so far things are going well. I'm ending this post with a little round up of first Hobbes cell phone pictures. When he's awake, he almost never stops moving and he's always interested in me and my camera, which has made it hard to get a lot of shots with the DSLR. Consequently, even most of these cell phone shots are of Hobbes sleeping.








I know that it's been months since I've shared any pictures of Apollo and Ares on the blog. I have a huge backlog of cell phone snaps, and I hope to start posting them again at some point soon.

What have your cats been up to lately?

  5. OMC, what a cutie! My human says I was the laziest kitten she's ever had. Of course, I play and have the crazies often, but I also will just flop down where I'm standing if I think I've moved enough.
