I got my new friend from the Seattle Animal Shelter. Poor guy got sick right away and had to stay for an extra 10 days on antibiotics. I waited.
Unfortunately, he stopped eating right before the 10 days were up and they had to keep him longer and on another medication until he was better. He pulled through like a champ and was very grateful to come home with me. I’m happy to provide him with a good home and he’s only a one-year old so he’ll have plenty of time to get used to me and his surroundings. I look forward to it.
My good friend Millie volunteers at the Animal Shelter and swore to me that he was the one. Thanks Millie for helping me find Jack!
So without further delay, meet Jack. He’s very snugly and follows me into every room purring. But he’s full of spunk too. I named him Jack after Jack Burton from “Big Trouble in Little China” mostly. He almost was Jake, a nod to the film Chinatown, but since Jack Nicholson played Jake Gittes I figured Jack works. Plus it’s a cool name. Nobody named Jack isn’t cool. Fact.
I filmed Jack today after finding the original two cats talking video on youtube. Here was his reaction.

Thanks james! Haha, yeah I probably could have been a little more clear in the title. But then maybe you wouldn’t have stopped by!

hahah, I have had to learn to keep my laptop closed when I walk away. Caliban loves to step all over it, just like Jack! So cute! And his voice sounds like a fat little bird!

cute kitty! lol at bububuububuubububuububububuubu keypress noise
im surprised how you let him on the keyboard.. they can get some keystroke craziness going on sometimes,…
i approve of cat internet watching though, i imagine a sort of device especially for pets, that searches for video of things that they press the button for, like big fish shaped button would show some fish clips, a cat button would allow them to see other cats. it would be called petnet.

Haha totally, Kelly. That would be brilliant!
I definitely don’t let him on the computer and he’s not even supposed to be on the desk. But I couldn’t help myself this one time. It was too cute. He was meowing along with the other kitties in the video.
