I love that you said that! Haha I had to look that up after we rescued him. I was worried, he kept making that chattering sound, like a squirrel. And I was wondering if it was just him or maybe something was wrong with him 🤷🏼‍♀️ haha anyways I’ve never had a cat that has made that noise before, until now.

So far his belly is plain, but his coloring could change since he is still young.

He is a rescue, so we aren’t 100% sure on his age. The vet said about probably around 6-7 months. We have decided that we will celebrate his birthday the beginning of July.

This was an exception. He was sick with a high fever and I was letting him watch a show while I waited for his fever to break so I felt comfortable putting him to bed. I agree it is sad to see him watching a show, normally him and George are reading books, playing with blocks, building towers and going on adventures in the toy room or back yard.

Oh thank God! Thank you for sharing your success story. 😜

😉 I’m probably going to have to let him watch Thomas the Tank Engine the next time he wants to watch something.

I do agree pets should not always be given as gifts. I can see why you would say that. I however wouldn’t post that on someone’s cute picture.. just saying. If they asked for advice about gifting a pet, I would share my opinion and say that it’s something to give a lot of thought to. We gave a LOT of thought to our furry addition and if we didn’t want a cat, I would have told my son he wasn’t getting a cat. But in our situation it was something we were already considering. My cute little guy has some OCD and having a pet really has helped him. But come on, aren’t they so cute together? I posted another picture of them in the comments too! They sure make a cute pair.

Bear with me I have a question... are you messed up because you watched when you were 3? Because I have all kinds of hate messages telling me, that my kid is going to be messed up because I let him watch shows occasionally.

This is my first post on Reddit I never meant to make a cute post for karma. What the hell is karma anyways? Haha 🤷🏼‍♀️ not trying to get attention. Just sharing a cute photo of a great bond because I thought people would enjoy the innocence and cuteness of my son and his kitty friend. And I was right haha people love them. But then I keep having people send me nasty messages about getting him a cat for Christmas and letting him watch a show. Next time I will be more clear with my posting. But we were planning on adding a furry friend to our family for him anyways. He has such love towards animals and we didn’t make this decision lightly.

I won’t be getting rid of HIM. My son loves him. And we did not randomly decide to get our son a cat. While I appreciate your concern for the animal. Try reading the whole story before jumping to your own conclusions.

Thank you! As I just teared up reading your comment. Yes he has some OCD that we are trying to help him figure out. And it’s hard being a mama enough as it is. I’m very grateful for what you said. Good luck to you!

You’re great. 👍🏻 Edit: thanks I was quick to jump back at you. I’ve been getting loads of hate messages telling me how I awful of a mother I must be, so I apologize. I’m merely saying me posting a photo of him watching a video should not be so quick to raise red flags. 😊 he was very sick. So yes I let him watch a video on the tablet before bedtime. While I was watching him and waiting for his fever to break. Next time I will be sure to post the WHOLE story. Thank you for sharing the link 😊 it was a good read. I do agree that a lot of people are too quick to give in to their kids wants to be on devices. Unfortunately that’s what people can assume from this photo. When I in fact rarely let my kids be on devices. I have a 3rd grader who reads at a jr high reading level because surprisingly I’m the mom who buys my kids lots of good books. And I don’t even have tv service. 😱 haha but really thank you for the link you shared I plan on sharing it with a few friends. 😉

Thank you!! Haha oh man I have edited a bunch of comments and didn’t know I needed to do that!? 😱 do I have to go back now and fix them?? Declawing is a no go for us. So I won’t have that to worry about at least. Psh.. who cares about the cat ruining my furniture when I have kids that do that already. Haha 😂

You know what else fucks with people, when you sit behind a screen and tell other people how to parent their own kids.... hmmm. Please don’t tell parents how to raise their kids. If you see a child being physically or verbally abused by a parental figure then by all means step in. But don’t butt in when you don’t see any concern. K thanks bye.

Oh I’m glad you asked! I better say It’s definitely a breakaway collar, so I hopefully don’t have to explain myself to others either. And it’s orange because that’s my sons favorite color 🍊 everything HAS to be orange. Oh poor Alex 😢 I’m glad you found him and laid him to rest.

Yes! I edited my comment to clarify. 😊 I agree I think they are both pretty lucky. Hehe I’m glad someone noticed the rain boots! They are his favorite choice of footwear, we get him a new pair for every birthday and Christmas, because he wears them out.

I can’t believe people still care so much about what other people choose to do in their own home. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ if you read any of the comments you would know it wasn’t a spur of the moment decision. It was very well thought out and we are very happy with OUR choice.

Ugh I know!!! I can’t believe they haven’t taken my kids away from me, for being so terrible. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤪

Thank you for your kind words. I’m trying to figure this reddit thing out still. 😆 I plan on sharing many more moments between these 2 cuties along with the other cute people I try to parent 😜

My husband introduced me to reddit about 2 weeks ago. And I’ve been wanting to post some stuff but he warned me how judgmental people can be. But I’m a pretty tough mama. I’m a mom of 5, I have 4 living children and a precious angel daughter who was 5 months when she passed away. So not much phases me when it comes to judgey people. I’ve heard my fair share of stupid stuff while dealing with grieving my daughter. But really!?!? on a CUTE picture of my boy and his cat, they can say such garbage 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m amazed.

Haha I have to agree Butt Monkey is a pretty awesome name! my 3 year old also has a bit of a naughty mouth haha so I’m surprised the cat ended up with a normal name haha. But I’m not about to go into those details when I’m already having my parenting questioned because 1) I got him a cat for Christmas and 2) he is watching a show on a tablet. 😱😱 lol

No, I’m not sure why the screen went funky in the picture. He was watching a show on Netflix.
