Shady

Location: Glendale, Oregon, USA

Shady

This is my little meezer/mix who came to us along with three other feral siblings and their mamma when he was only five weeks old. He’s incredibly resourceful - as you can see him standing guard at our onetime bird-feeder. Someone forgot to tell him the birds moved out so everyday he climbs up to it and when smaller he would even nap beneath it’s little roof. He’s healthy, strong and loves outdoor adventure. Like all meezers though he comes in for his long-term love fests in our laps.

oh, and I think there’s some snowshoe thrown in with the meezer, such a pretty kitten mixture is Shady! Like cocoa swirls on a nice foamy vanilla latte…….

Almost first. What a curious cutie looks like he is saying why are you pointing that thing at me AGAIN. Smart of the birds to move out. LOL

Shady has the same expression that my Oreo has when she watches for birds in the tree outside our window. I wonder if there is a universal
bird hunting expression for cats?

Or he is being hugged by a small gray angel — any guesses?

Hey karenopa, I love Shady’s face, the smudgy nose and that vertical white stripe!

What a handsome fellow, especially with his slightly offsided stripe. It gives his face character, something meezers definitely possess in abundance!

Hi, Alex!

Shady is a handsome kitten. he looks very interested in the camera. I wonder if he makes those chittering noises my cats make when they are sitting in the window watching the birds….

Hey Karen - Shady is adorable! His expression reminds me of Shaddo, my geezer-part-meezer, who loves the outdoors too. What a great picture. I’m so glad to see him on TDK!
