Bruiser

Bruiser

This is little Bruiser. He was a very energetic and destructive as a kitty, as his name reflects. The first vet visit the Vet took one look at his paws and said, “he’s gonna be a big boy”. Well, he’s now a 20lb Maine Coon or part Maine Coon (we think), so he was right! He is so fluffy and very vocal. He’s also very loving and cuddles with me in bed every morning.

Maine Coons rock! They are gentle giants that have endless love and purring ability. Jiggs was my hero, he took care of me to the very end.

He looks ready to pounce before he settles down to cuddle.

This little guy is a heartbreaker, but certainly doesn’t look like a Bruiser…
My Smoochie is also a Maine Coon mix. In addition to being very loving and vocal, she’s also what we lovingly call a “VISA Cat” because she’s ALWAYS “everywhere you want to be…” Bless her devious little heart, you can’t stay angry with her when she look at you with those big green eyes, although I’m sure my eldest kitty would disagree!

Bruiser is quite the handsome little guy! Check out his ear ruffles ~ he couldn’t be destructive, he’s too cute!

He looks ready for playtime! He’s a handsome fellow with his “M” mark on his forehead! :)

Darling kitten. Twenty pound male? He can tangle with both of mine and they’re NOT Maine Coons.

20lbs??!!!! You’d know when that jumped on you in the middle of the night! Cute kitten, and sounds like a cuddleicious grown up cat!

I can vouch for that one.. I have a 20lb black cat! He’s not a “coonie” but he sure does knock the wind out of me when he jumps on me. :)

“very energetic and destructive”

As is the nature of a kitten (babycattus climbsupyerstuff)

Bruiser doesn’t look so bruiser-ish in this photo, he just looks all sweet and innocent!

Just a sweet and precious baby. Maybe if he grows bigger and bigger he will fit his name. Right now just a Little Bit of a Lot of Love.
