We would like to share our April Pet of the Month: Meet Bugsy! 😻His parent's shared some sweet things about him like how he is often called the ‘cutest cat on the planet’! He has a very sweet personality, with a bit of a rascally streak :) Our best guess of his birth date is 6/1/2024 (Bugsy and his brother were born on the streets of Gonzales, TX and taken to a shelter quite young, when their mom died).
Some of his favorite toys are spring toys, catnip stuffed fish, felt balls, fuzzy mice, a cat wand toy, and of course, boxes!
Bugsy is never late for any kind of food or treats, and while he loves his daily ration of Wellness Core Tasters with Weruva Gravy, he will absolutely devour any flavor of Churu!
He loves to spend his time watching the birds and squirrels, chasing his toys, napping in the sunshine, and wrestling with his big brother Spot, who is also a pirate kitty. They are litter mates, both born with only one eye and kinked tails, and they are very close, still sleeping together even at almost 2 years old! When he is in the mood, Bugsy chirps at us and flops on the floor, looking for a belly rub and a good scratch. In turn he will purr deeply and rub on us in complete delight. And he absolutely loves being brushed.
We are so grateful to Dr. Paglia for saving his eyesight. Bugsy contracted ocular FIP when he was about 9 months old, and we were sure he would lose his ability to see. Dr. Paglia recognized his condition right away, when other vets did not, and immediately started him on treatment. While he has some scarring in his cornea and secondary glaucoma, it does not stop him from being the most lovable, playful, and joyful cat. We are so lucky to have him (and his beautiful brother Spot)!
