Gus

April 13, 2010

Shayna says: I got Gus when he was nine weeks old and only weighed two and a half pounds. We found him hiding in a hole in a basement stairway with one of his brother or sisters (who we couldn't catch). He was one of four new kittens in a local cat colony. At first he was so scared of people, but he quickly warmed up into the outgoing one-year-old Gus he is today.

Yummy. He thinks he's cool,too. Gus is so beautiful and it proves that even a feral kitty --if socialized early--can become a polydactyl people person!

What a cutie! It just goes to show that cats are very adaptable - even the most frightened kitty can blossom into a self-assured happy cat with enough time and attention. Congratulations on Gus' transformation from feral to furbaby!

He's beautiful. The first picture is a classical portrait in the best tradition of Revere, Delacroix en Goya.

They say that the best things come in small packages. Your 2 1/2 pound Gus truly fits that saying
He is a real cutie. I love his markings.

One of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen... I love tiger cats!

chloe - 1 year, 10 months ago

Extra toes and just about as huge a heart stealer as I have ever seen (including my own). What a face; that pink nose; what a boy. The toes are wonderful - are you in New England - that's where most of those toes appear. Love him!!!
