This is April, a torti kitty mom met while taking a walk. She’s an extremely friendly kitty who lives a few blocks away. Kitty came right up to mom and asked for petting. Then she rubbed on mom’s legs and flopped on the ground for more petting. Mom wasn’t sure if this was a trap, so she petted her neck very carefully. But April didn’t try to grab onto mom’s hands, she just rolled around for more petting.
Mom tried to continue her walk, but April kept trying to follow her, so mom knocked on the door to ask if April lived there. The lady said yes, April lives there and is very friendly. Having the door open and seeing her owner distracted April enough that mom could walk away without April following her.
Mom liked April so much that at the end of her walk she went back to April’s house. April was still outside so mom gave her lots more petting and took a few photos. It was hard to get a good photo because April was so squirmy trying to get petted.
Even though mom cheated on me, I guess it’s ok because mom came home, washed her hands, then gave me lots of lovin’ and said how lucky I was to be a safe indoor-only kitty.
She adored her brother Felix and they were inseperable companions. He was a few months older than her and I adopted them both when they were kittens. She quickly outgrew him – as adults Felix was 9 pounds and Smokey was 18 pounds!
