We might be crazy. In fact, I'm fairly certain that many of you might read this and say, "wait....they really got another pet?"
Yes. We did. And we really might be crazy. But we walked into Petsmart yesterday and couldn't resist this little guy:
But before you roll your eyes about our third attempt at a pet, let me tell you a little more about Royal.
Yes, he is certainly named afer Royal Tennenbaum. He's a 4-month-old kitten that's already litter box trained, has already eaten an entire bowl of food, and peed and pooped. Meaning, ladies and gentleman, he's a HEALTHY CAT! Woah, what a concept. The second we brought him home yesterday and he ate for the first time, I about died with joy. We waited three weeks for that sight with Penny and never got it, so to see him so happy and healthy is making our lives pretty much.
Pretty sure he might be the most playful cat in America, too. So far he doesn't really nap. And he was up most of the night with his feather toy. He runs around the house dive bombing his toys and hiding in the curtains and loves life. I don't know if he missed the memo about being a real cat or what, but right now he's too busy playing to be a stinky lazy cat. And we love him for it.
He looks kinda mean in all the photos because a.) I can't catch him sitting still long enough for a good picture and b.) I don't know. He just looks mean. So here's a video of him playing with his favorite toy being adorable. He really is the sweetest cat with the prettiest blue eyes I ever did see.

He's also the friendliest cat in America. He's all about cuddling and nuzzling and gets a little upset when you leave him alone. Upset meaning lots of sad meows. He's quite vocal. We have a fancy little bed for him, but his favorite spot is the yarn basket by the window. I say let him have it.
Since Royal was raised in a loving foster home, his health is guaranteed, and we have two of the cutest, sweetest little ladies to call at any time with questions. SO much better than the last kitty hospice experience. And hey, I'm a hardcore sewer/crocheter now, so getting a cat was pretty much inevitable, right? They really just go hand in hand.
Welcome, little Royal. We hope he likes it here. We sure do love him already.
He'll do great Amy and you rescued a kitten from a sad end!! I can't go there cause I have to fight the urge to adopt all the cats.. Yes I am the weirdest guy ever but I've always loved cats!!
I have a dog named Royal. He was also named after Royal Tenenbaum. He's almost a year old. He likes cats. They can play and be Royals together.
Oh my laws....yes. Let's please let them be Royal friends. And they can fake cancer together to make us love them more. We had a bulldog named Margot for a split second. I wish we still had her. We'd be nigh unto a whole Tenenbaum family.
Yay! Good for you. He has a great home.
son of a b! Did you know if I have another boy he is to be named Royal? Ha! Guess he willed be named after a cat! Great minds really do think alike.
I love him! He has the cutest eyes ever with those little patches over them! When can i come play with him??
