Leo
Please join me in putting paws up in the air and welcome this Caturday’s Star Kit, Leo. He is 8 months old from Downingtown, Pennsylvania.
He was given to me as a surprise from craigslist. He was the only kitten to survive his litter, and we got him at about 10 weeks old. He stayed with my boyfriend at the time until I could get my own place that would allow a cat. I did not get him until he was about 5 months. During that time he had two other kitty friends at my boyfriends house to play with. Now I am in a tiny studio apartment.
I try to give him all the self entertaining toys I can, and I let him go outside on a leash sometimes, or roam around the lobby of my apartment, so he can spread his legs a little. I feel bad sometimes because he doesn’t have a ton of room to run around. He is VERY playful and active and loves to watch water run. He may not always want me to pet him but he is like my shadow, he never leaves my side.

Mr. Leo and you seem to be very much “in sync” (had to say this LOL.) IMHO size of abode is a quality/quantity factor as my place is not all that huge and my kitty manages to fond his fave spots. Your kit is a gorgeous tabby ans seems to be well worth the 5-month wait! 🙂
Typo – “Find” not “fond.” 🙄
Leo is a handsome wee guy kit.
Spending time with your sweet boy is what he needs from you. You might get a cat tree from him to run up/down when he’s alone.
Leo is adorable! I don’t think you need a large space to keep a cat happy. They have a tendency to find spots they like and make their own. As far as exercise goes playing with him with a feather toy or something like that can give a lot of exercise as he runs and jumps trying to catch it.
Also, if you have room for a cat tree that would provide him with a way to see his surroundings including outside if you could put it in front of a window!
Leo is just too cute! I like his pink and black jellybean toes.
So glad he was rescued from Craigslist.
Since he follows you everywhere, it’s obvious you are his whole world. Wishing you lots of happiness together.
