New Memeber of the Family

We decided that Mike is ready for his own pet. Since we are not allowed to have dogs where we live the next choice is a cat. We already have one that is mine.
I have had him for a very long time. He is a Persian and gorgeous. He looks like a wise old Chinese mad. His whiskers hang down like a Fu Man Chu. His name is Chubbers and he was the last thing that my mom had given me before she passed away. So he has a great deal of sentimental value to me.




This is wise old Chubbers


We have some friends from wrestling whose cat just had a litter of kittens. We told them that we would take one of them. Hoping for a male. Of course it will belong to Mike. It's food and cat box will be in his room. So it will be his responsibility to take care of it.

It's name it was decided before we brought it home. It would be Bernie from Bernie Kozar the quarterback from the Cleavland browns. Mike is a huge Browns fan.
We were suppose to get a male but, they brought us a female. Mike didn't want to change the name. So her name is Bernice and we are calling her Bernie for short.

Welcome to your new home Bernie!

Congrats on the new family member!! Mike is old enough to take care of a pet...now will he is another ?. We have a rat named Will, so it's okay, I don't they care what their called as long as they are loved!

So cute!! I hope it goes well. I love animals and also have cats (&dogs) but we've always had boy cats too because i've heard they are friendlier but we got a female cat a couple years ago and she's the best cat I've ever had!! Enjoy her!

Awww! So cute! We have a male "Lucy". We thought he was a she up until his first vet visit! He still goes by "Lucy" although when he misbehaves we have called him "Lucifer!". Good luck with your new pet Mike!

Very cute! I don't think she will care what she is called as long as she gets the lovin' she needs. My cousins have a female cat named Tony. The people who owned her before thought she was a male when they named her. Our cats are both female and are super lovey! Good luck with the new pet!

I think it is great that Mike is old enough to have responsibility of his own pet! What a pretty cat! We have no pets. I tell Preston he can have one when he too is older and can walk it and clean up after it!
