Three years of Theo!

It's Theo's Gotcha Day!!! Three years ago sweet Theo appeared so cold and hungry at my in-laws' farm in rural Indiana. I offered him my warm lap and he instantly melted into me.


Of course I flew him the 2,000 miles home! He's got such a wonderful personality, he loves life. He brings me great joy with all his crazy antics and his affectionate, sweet nature. He's not afraid to ask for what he wants or even just demand it!

To celebrate Theo, I bought him his favorite toy of all time, the Neko Flies Kragonfly, known in house as the "bug toy". The old one wore out, so it was time he got a new one for his big day.















Even though Theo is approaching five years of age, he still has the moves! Every night, after I snuggle with Buddy for a few minutes, Theo hops up on my chest for his nightly loves. He purrs and drools as I scratch his cheeks and love on him. I also thank him for being such a delightful cat and I rejoice in my decision to bring him home. As I fall asleep, he settles on the bed pressing against me for his nightly sleep.

Thank you Theo for three wonderful years!

  5. Theo looks like he is having a blast.

    The lady always likes looking at Theo's photo in the sidebar because the little curl of his lip reminds her of my old pal, Elvis Pussley, who was named Elvis because he had that lip curl.
    (Poor Elvis Pussley was missing teeth on that side of his face, which is why his lip curled).

    Theo sure has a sleek, gorgeous coat.

  9. Wanted to add that he reminds me so much of Nicki...Even at 6, Nicki still is the wild one, and definitely, like Theo, demands what he wants. Theo must have known instinctively you were a keeper (possibly read as "sucker" -- haha).

  14. Theo is a very lucky cat, and certainly enjoys his new toy. Keep an eye out for the coyotes, as they seem to be about lately.

  16. What a great story! How wonderful that you brought Theo home all that way. Happy Gotcha Day to him!

    Annie loves the Neko Flies but unfortunately ruins them in short order. Looks like Theo is having a blast!
