Thursday's Purrs: Scotty
"Thanks for reading about me! My name is Scotty, and I’m a black kitty with a very sleek and silky coat. I've been told I have amazing golden eyes, too. What do you think?
I’m a playful, affectionate and loving boy who enjoys sitting beside you or even on your lap. I've lived with other cats and got along with them okay, but I really adore human attention, so if it's all the same to you, I might really enjoy being an only cat. And I have to admit, I think I'd also rather be in a home with no young children.
You see, I can be a little shy at first, and those mini humans can be a bit intimidating!
For that special someone, though - I promise, I warm up quickly. I have a lot of love to give and can hardly wait to find my purrfect match to give it all to!"
"Also, I'm front-declawed which means I need to be an indoors-only kind of guy since one of my main forms of protection has now been removed. But hey, I'm totally down with protecting the inside of your home. I have mad skillz in that area!
Want to come by and see if we're meant to be?
Just ask for short, dark and handsome.
They'll know it's me - Scotty!"
Scotty's available at Allie's Alma Mater, Wayside Waifs.

Thursday's Purrs: Glasses
"Hello, I’m Glasses! Okay, yeah, I know that’s a silly name for a cat, but sometimes we just have to humor the humans, you know?
I am a super-sweet, super-loving, super-curious and super-courageous kitty. Seriously -- I’m just all around super! Well, at least that’s what the people around here keep telling me. Not that I'm letting it go to my head or anything - honest.
Here, let me take a selfie real quick so we can chat face to face.
(uh, wait -- is THAT the camera button? *squint* I think so ....)"
SNAP! FLASH!
"Oh dear, is it a bit out of focus? I can't tell ....
You might have noticed that I have some severe vision problems caused by cataracts. And I’ve got a bit of a tilty head, too. But I don’t let either of those things slow me down! No way! I’ve got far too much to do, place to go, people to — uhh — see. Sorta.
And my head tilt just makes me look even cuter, don’t you think?
Soooo .... Wanna know what I'm just SO BUSY doing? Well, just about everything!
First, I love to make new friends and love on people. I love to be petted and I especially love to be held. I’ll put my arms right around you and purr, purr, purr the day away.
And I love to explore! That’s right, even with my limited sight, I’m no fraidy cat, no way, no how.
I’m ready to get out and explore the world. I love new adventure!
Of course, because of my eyesight, I’ll need to be an indoor only cat — unless you are with me.
Hey, now wouldn't that just be totally cool to go outside on a harness and explore the world with you?
Wouldn’t you like to try? I'm getting so excited just thinking about it!
Please come down to Kansas City Pet Project to meet me. I promise, you’ll never regret making a new friend as special as I am.
Purrs, headbutts and tons of love,
Glasse"
(Pee Ess, feel free to rename me. Just meowin'. *giggle*)

Faraday: *nudges Maxie* Maxie, can you, like, move a little to your --
Maxwell: *sigh-h-h* (shifts right)
Faraday: Well it's not my fault you're too bony, Maxie. Seriouslies.
Maxwell: Dood. Can you just settle down already?
Faraday: Well, fine, if you insist.
*glares at Mommy* What?
Maxie doesn't mind, do you, Maxie.
*long-suffering pause*
The Mom: Well, seeing as Thursday's National Do a Grouch a Favor Day, looks like your brother's doing you a solid, kiddo.
Faraday: I'll pee on your shoes later, Mommy.

Thursday's Purrs: Zelda
"Hi, I’m Zelda! Have you seen my mane? Yep, that’s what most people notice first about me. It’s quite pretty, don’t you think? People say it makes me look regal. But really, I’m just a friendly, sweet little girl. I’m not a diva or anything!"
"I’ve got lots and lots of energy, and I love to play! That’s my favorite thing to do. I especially love feather toys. Put a feather on the end of a wand or string, and you’ve got my attention for sure!
I think my video showcases my excellent stalking and pouncing skills, don't you?"
"I’m also very curious and friendly. I love to say hello to everybody who comes into the cat room at the shelter, and I make friends right away. If you came down to the shelter to meet me, I’m sure we’d be besties from the start. Right now, I’m hanging out here looking for a truly forever home. I don’t mind it here so much, but with all my energy and love of playtime, I’d sure like to get out of this kennel and be able to run and play in a real home.
I should mention, though, that I will need to be strictly an indoor-only kitty. If I do go outside I will need to be safely on the end of a leash or closely supervised by you.
You see, I am all four-paw declawed, and I wouldn’t be able to take care of myself if I somehow got out on my own. Being four-paw declawed is pretty hard on us kitties sometimes."
"Sometimes when our claws have been taken away, we start to use our mouths a bit more than we should. I’m afraid I do that from time-to-time. But the nice volunteers at the shelter have been working with me and I’m getting much better about it.
If you bring me home, I’m sure they’d be glad to show you how to use positive reinforcement to remind me to be gentle. I’m an excellent student!
So, if you’re looking for a frisky little friend with a big mane and an even bigger heart, please come to see me at Kansas City Pet Project!
Purrs,
Zelda"
Zelda would love for you to visit her at KC Pet Project's Main Shelter today!

Hide-and-Evade Level: Expert
Who's the clever kitty in the family, now?
THIS guy!
(sorry, Faraday, dood ....)
I will hurt you for this, Maxie. You just better hope I come back wif all my teefs ....
(Yes, Maxie hid this morning, and Faraday stood a little too close to mom, gloating about it. And there were appointments to keep. And one thing led to another ....)

Maxie's Request
Maxwell: Uh, hullo? Miz Tooth Fairy? Are you there?
No offense or anything, but if you don't mind ...
I'd kinda like to keep the rest of my teeth today, if that's okay.
Maxie's at the dentist getting his teeth cleaned today.
Here's hoping he gets to keep that snaggle-tooth.
(and all the rest of them, too!)

Thursday's Purrs: Milo
"Are you looking for a sophisicat? Look no further, you've found me - Milo!
I’m well groomed, erudite and my manners are absolutely impeccable. I always use my litter box (of course). I’m a gentleman through and through."
"I’m affectionate, playful, and friendly to all—men, women and children. I’ve been accused of being a bit of a couch potato, but really I’d much prefer a 'lap potato' — I love to be held.
I’m particularly skilled at snuggling and purring. In fact, I tend do quite a bit of both—usually at the same time!
I’m also an excellent conversationalist. I like to keep a good chat going, and am always willing to share my worldly experience with you. Above all, I’m a true, loyal and loving companion. And who doesn’t need one of those?"
"Now, you may ask how a purrfect gentleman like me ended up in a shelter at my age (ahem ... 13. Not that 13’s old, mind you).
Well, I originally lived with an elderly person who placed me with friends when living arrangements had to change. The friends were quite good to me, but were just not ready to care for a cat with diabetes."
"Yes, I am diabetic. Something that’s pretty common in cats and really not a big deal in my book. Right now, my diabetes is mild and controlled by diet alone! I eat a cat food formulated for diabetics - and that's it! Someday, I may need to go onto insulin, but I’m a very gentle and well-mannered guy and giving me an injection wouldn’t be any problem at all.
Most diabetic kitties do quite well, and I expect to live a long, happy, healthy life just like any other cat. So, if you think a gent like me might make your family complete, won’t you please come down to Kansas City Pet Project’s main shelter and say hello? I’d be most honored to make your acquaintance, and absolutely thrilled to share my life and love with you.
Yours sincerely, Milo"

Oh, hullo. Just practicing for tomorrow. I plan to job shadow Mister Groundhog.
You know, make sure he makes the right predictions and all.
