Everyone, meet Gizmo
He is a flame point Himalayan/Persian mix which is like a cousin breed to our Ragdolls.
We found him on Craigslist and the lady said he was eight weeks old. On the way home I saw a couple fleas on him, so we went straight to the vet’s to get him dipped. The vet took one look at him and said, “That cat is not eight weeks old. He is way too young for anything other than a bath and a flea comb.” So we did as we were told.
And that’s how he got his name. Doesn’t he look like a little Gremlin here?
We felt strongly about getting a kitten instead of an older cat. This little guy has a big job ahead of him to fill the shoes of our sweet Lobo, and as a kitten we have the best chance of training him (as much as you can ever really train a cat) to be Atti’s best buddy and playmate.
Although he hasn’t really needed much training so far. He seems to be taking to his job like a natural.
Since Lobo died I’ve been so sad that he wasn’t here just as Atti started really discovering the cats. Now that he can commando crawl he’s been trying to chase them all over the house, shouting Kitty! Kitty! the whole way, but the older girls want nothing to do with him. Now he plays with little Gizmo and laughs his head off as the kitten frolics around him.
Until he just runs out of steam.
Oh my gosh how cute!
I am delurking to just say how lovely little Gizmo looks, what a wonderful little pal for your adorable little boy
I found your blog through a post on a Yahoo group. LOVE IT!I'm also a crazy cat lady. We have five in the house and two who go in and out. One is sitting on my shoulder while I'm trying to type!Your son is adorable and so are your kitties!Blessings–Dana
Ok, I'm not much for "aww kittens" but holy smokes.
He's purrrfect! Great photography! I hope the two kids have a great time together.
Oh my goodness!! Your new kitty is so cute I can hardly stand it!!
What a doll! He is adorable… it's nice to see that he and Atti are already best friends. also, Atti's eye looks great!!
This reminds me of our cat's reaction when our last 2 sons were born. The cats stayed away mostly, but everything went nuts when my sons learned to crawl. Brownie, our Maine Coon Tiger, used to wag her tail in front of my son, encouraging him to crawl at her, until he started to catch her.After that, the cats were trying to find SOME place, any place, to hide so they could rest, away from my sons bothering them. Hence, our black cat was ran through the clothes drier for a few minutes by accident. At least we got her out before harm was done!
Gizmo is a perfect name for that precious bundle! How precious! Your son & Gizmo will spend hours wearing each other out. There is something so adorable about a kitten…Sharon
My head just exploded over the extreme cuteness of this. Congrats on your new kitten. And wow! Look how straight Atti's eyes are now! He's even more handsome than before.
OMG How cute, and I'm not a cat person. LOL How adoreable! I know Gizmo and Atti will become best of buds! It's already started to happen!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and thats for Atti and Gizmo
oh dear! how cute is that cat. Looks like Atti has a new friend!
He's so cute!!! It's too bad I'm not a cat person. I don't mind them…as long as they're in someone else's home. I'm a pure dog lover. I used to chase my dogs around the house when I was little trying to catch their tail or take the toy away from them so I could throw it again; when I got tired, they would lie down and I'd use their tummies as a pillow. My dogs, ironically, always knew when I was going to have a seizure before anyone else did. They became part of my life on a medical front (both with seizures and therapy) and a personal front (cuddles, playtime). I love an animal that loves to cuddle and cats, I've found, aren't cuddlers but dogs LOVE cuddling. I have a Decker Rat Terrier now named Zena. She's spoiled rotten but she's the darned cutest dog.
How adorable! Love the pictures of Atti and Gizmo…looks like a great relationship building already.
He is the cutest thing ever! The picture of him and Atti is absolutely adorable!
