"Little" is now "Jango"

 

 

 

Dear Homeward Pet staff,

We just wanted to let you know that “Little”, the darling black-and-white tuxedo kitten we adopted last Saturday, has a new name. Our boys have chosen “Jango” for him (a character from Star Wars is “Jango Fett”) and it seems to suit him well. We have been having a lot of fun with him since bringing him home. He is so sweet – loves to be held and cuddled, even likes tummy rubs! – and his “motor” is running all the time. He is very frisky and playful, too. Loves to chase a ball or just about anything pulled on a string. He even pushes “Hot Wheels” cars around on the floor, stalking and pouncing on them! We have all laughed ourselves silly watching his antics.

 

So far, he has been staying in our workout room where he has plenty of room to safely explore, some “cubbies” to hide in, his bed, his litter box, food & water, and all his toys. He seems to be very content there but has also enjoyed a few supervised outings to our boys’ rooms and elsewhere in the house. It is so funny when he catches sight of himself in a mirror! He puffs his tiny body and tail up to look so big and menacing, only to scare himself if he swats at his image. Silly kitty!

 

He has very briefly met our feline matriarch, Chloe, who is 18+ years old. She knew something was up from the moment we brought him into the house, even though we hadn’t let her see him. We gave her the opportunity to check out his room yesterday as we held Jango and then she gave him a good sniff or two. She grumbled a bit and trotted off to “her” territory upstairs. Not particularly happy about the interloper but seems like she is willing to accept him without too much fuss. We’ll wait until next weekend before letting them interact again.

 

He has been eating and drinking well (we are feeding him Max Nutro kitten food), takes plenty of cat naps, has impeccable litter box hygiene, and seems to be very happy with us. We have a checkup scheduled for him tomorrow at The Cat Clinic in Canyon Park (where we have been taking Chloe for years). I know they are going to love meeting him and we are expecting a great report.

 

Thank you for allowing us to adopt Jango. We are so glad he found us and is part of our family – we love him dearly!

 

Sincerely,

Susan, John, Matthew, and Brian
