We all know sometimes you get a cat even though you didn’t want one in the first place. it is quite true when they say you don’t choose a cat rather they choose you. And this is definitely the case when it comes to Kevin. You see one day Kevin just showed up at the door of Erin Breean who lives in Austin Texas.
At first, the family thought he was there for some food and shelter since he showed up at odd times. However, that was not the case at all. You see Kevin had been hiding a secret from them.
Catching her was a 4-day ordeal of offering her treats and then food. During this process, my boyfriend Landon named him (her) Kevin.
We would sit out on the patio with her for an hour or two every evening, she would roll around on her back for belly rubs but was really skittish and didn’t want us petting her. She would chase after us if we would get up and walk away, though.
She took a few laps around my office and laid down in the hallway like, ‘This is my house now’. I closed my office door, put her in our bathroom, and found a vet that would see us the next day to see if she was chipped. She wasn’t, and that’s when we found out that she was a girl and pregnant.
From the first time we spotted her in the green belt to today on our couch, she talks nonstop. She has full conversations with her kittens, which is cute to hear from the other room.
We were really hesitant to introduce Kevin and Murphy at first, but Kevin took the initiative and went right up to him, and they’ve been best friends since.
He is obsessed with her kittens, and the kittens love to climb all over him, pounce on his tail, and sneak up and stalk him.
She had her kittens 4 days after we got back from the vet, and we spent all our time reading articles for what to expect when your cat’s expecting and asking for advice from friends who had fostered kittens.
This means that when they’re all old enough to go to their forever homes, they will be chipped, fixed, and vaccinated!
They have all been adopted. They are going in pairs which we are very happy about, two to a friend here in Austin and two to our old roommate back in San Francisco. They’ll be ready to go home in a week and we’ve decided Kevin belongs here with us for good!
They even got a kitty at the end of all of this. What did you think of the whole experience? Why do you think Kevin chose this couple? Let us know in the comments below.
