So my friend Zack got a kitten last night and when I saw pics of him I just about melted out of his adorableness. I thought it would be a fun idea to feature Zack and his new addition, Brady on today's Thursday Purrsday!
Zack and I have known each other since I moved to California and him and Katie (my roommate) have known each other their whole lives, which is how we met. Zack lives in Phoenix but since thats not such a far drive we still get to see him a couple times a year which is wonderful.
Here's me and Zack way back in 2008 hanging out with the itty bitty Hollywood sign in the background.
And heeeere is Brady!
I asked Zack a few questions about Brady just so we could get to know him a little better and here's what he had to say!
What made you decide to adopt a kitten?
I work from home and was spending so much time alone that I realized I would be happier if I had something here to keep me company. I needed a low maintenance animal so obviously dogs were out. I thought about a fish but you can't cuddle with fishes :-)
What was it about Brady that drew you to him?
At the shelter, my friend Kennelle and I were walking up and down the windowed walls looking at all the cute kittens. When we got to Brady, who was being called Velvet, he pulled out all of his tricks so that I would choose him. He started jumping around and touching the glass...almost like he was saying "hey! I want you to be my dad!"
Why did you choose the name Brady?
I had my heart set on a girl kitten that I could name Vivi. I found the perfect kitten at the Humane Society and fell in love. I got through the entire adoption process and as I'm signing the last paper, the lady says "and he's current on shots!" I was dumbfounded. I realized I couldn't name my new little boy Vivi, so I named him Brady because that's the name I chose if I were to ever have a son.
How was your first night spent with him?
My first night was interesting. Once I passed out, he was okay. He loved to sleep behind my back and cuddle it. I was scared that when I would roll over I was going to crush him.
Have you noticed any funny personality traits or quirks yet?
This cat is FULL of personality! He is obsessed with my face. He's always trying to get as close to my face to rub against it and lick it. He loves running around his new house and telling me how much he loves when I play with him. He is very clingy...which I love.
Have you instantly become a cat person?
I'm not sure if I'm instantly a cat person...but I am certainly head over heels with him. Give me a few months and I'm sure I will be. I can't wait to see him grow up. My allergies are kind of bad right now but just like all of the other animals in my life, I'll build a tolerance to him.
I say give it a couple months and Zack will be wearing dorky cat shirts and talking to Brady in meows like a normal cat person does. Brady seems like the perfect addition for Zack and we've already decided to do some more posts about him in the future, its always fun to see what new things cats discover they can do. I'm sure Zack will know all of Brady talents and personality traits soon enough!
Thanks Zack and Brady for being a part of Thursday Purrsday!!!
