Whisker's story

Whisker’s is a deaf kitten from our litter. We thought this would make him undesirable and that we may need to have him join our forever cats here. But this was not the case. Every family that visited was drawn to him and he was chosen by the first family. The other kids who visited kept picking him when parents asked who was their favorite. His deafness made him fearless and pretty much kid proof. He is very missed by our family and Simone said she loves him because he ALWAYS wanted to snuggle.

Here he is with his eyes just opening. His face is lying on Snowy’s butt.



Here’s the first alert picture at a few weeks old, he's in the back on the left. You can see his eyes are blue already when everyone else’s will be gray for another month.
Here he is running around in the bed with Snowy chasing him. 

Here he is on the left looking at camera.


 This was supposed to be the kittens’ official pictures for posting on listings. It didn’t go well as the kittens were to fast and didn’t want to stay. We used a crinkle toy to try and get them to look at the camera. That’s how we found out Whiskers was deaf, he went nuts over the ball’s shadow but ignored the noise which every other cat loved. We pulled out the vacuum to try and check and he followed us around playing with the cord while the rest of the kittens found places to hide.

Here he is in the cat tree. He loves to jump off of the top and give us a heart attack.  


Here he is snuggling while Simone works on homework.

And snuggling while I work on the computer. We miss you Whiskers!
