It was a warm September evening on 9/11 and I was sitting out on my deck with my two adult cats trying to cool down when I heard a cat meow. I thought it was my neighbor’s cat but then across the garden courtyard, I saw a tiny black and white kitten desperately trying to find a place to hide under one of the neighbor’s patio walls as it ran along the walkway. I went over to see and found him cornered. I picked him up and took him in.
I was first informed he was 6-8 week old kitten and wouldn’t have made it another week outside but then I was informed by my vet that Felix was only 5 weeks. The very first night, I fed him some kitten food and after he had eaten his fill, he climbed up to my chest and headbonked and licked my chin. He had my heart at the very moment. He is now a healthy 13lb kitty and will be two in August. He has Sylvester and Mia to boss around and loves to wrestle with Sylvester. I am very happy to have my feline trio to love.

POUNCE!
Gotta luv a kit in a tux as Felix our TDK Family Member as SMMomma’s kit the Star-kit of the day at TDK!
poor little Felix! How lucky for him you took the time to see what all the noise was about. He’s one gorgeous wee tuxie boo, congrats on your finding such a wonderful new fur friend. Many treats and cuddles to him 🙂
Felix is so happy you took him in and gave him a home! I wish you many years of health and happiness to you and your family.
I’m loving this picture! Felix is quite a handsome kitty!
Hello handsome Felix! 🙂
In this photo, Felix is maybe 11 weeks old and decided to try out the big kitties’ blanket. He is now such a love bug and because as a kitten he purred so loudly in thanks for the food, his nickname became Mr. Buzzy Kitten and now that he is all grown up it is Mr. Buzzy. He likes to come snuggle under the covers with me during the night or in the morning and snooze with me. He is also a lap kitty and when I am relaxing on the couch, he will come cuddle in my lap. He loves playing in paper bags. The cutest thing about him is when he is happy to see me, he swishes his tail back and forth. He is such a joy in my life along with my two other cats!
What a handsome boy! Thank you so much for rescuing Felix & for giving him & his furry family a loving home.
My furkids & I wish you & you furkids many happy, healthy years. =^..^=

He’s beautiful!
His behavior reminds me of my Sunshine. We had a feral dropoff who we knew had kittens hidden somewhere in our yard, and one day I was out in our back yard to remove our old drier (which had given up the ghost). To my surprise, out of the vent came this little golden tabby boy, about five weeks old. I picked him up and lifted him to my face and asked him “Well, what do we have here?”
He looked up, purred, and gave me a big nose rub, and started snuggling. Not a single hiss or even caution. His two brothers – one (Cubby Bear) hissed a bit, but now is almost as affectionate as Sunshine (solid black) and the other (Spot), well, he was a little spitfire until after we’d fed him a couple of times.
Sunshine (and his brothers) also had never seen a human being before. Every since I found him six years ago, he has been my “special kitty” – a real love bug. (My wife has her own “special kitty” as well.)
I hope you have many long years of “special kitty”!!!

The wonderful cat
Felix is soooooo good looking, Lucky you and lucky him!
Concats on being the kitten of the day, Mr. Buzzy!
Mr. Buzzy Felix is handsome in this pic. He had his own 911 emergency that day you found him – he needed a permanent home. I am very glad he is healthy and happy with you and his older siblings. Best!
Oh Felix looks like my little Oreo. I love me some head bonks.
Felix the Cat! Does he have a magic bag of tricks? (I’m dating myself here! lol!)
What a lucky handsome wee chap, he chose a great place to be found. Love his Mr Buzzy name.
Headbonks!!! Gotta love ’em. You are lucky to find this wee guy. Your cat family needed just one more kittah to love and to play. I hope you, Mr. Sylvester, Miss Mia and Mr. Felix have many more happy, loving times ahead.
Felix is very precious. Thank you for sharing his story. ^ ^
What beautiful blue eyes your kitty has! It’s a lovely match for his black-and-white colors. Really gorgeous!
Felix was looking for a hiding place but he found a home instead. Lucky kitty! Lucky you!
Oh Karin!! This has to be your little Felix! He is soooooo adorable! Congratulations for being chosen TDK’s Daily Kitten!!!! =)
