My Baby Boomer



{AKA- The Baby, Killer Bee,  Big Cat, Boomertron, Tron, 
Baby Bee, Monkey, Mr. Big Teeth, Simple Jack}

Boomer was born 5 May 2007 in Virginia Beach, VA. His owners decided they didn't want to raise him so they posted an ad on Craig's List. On 5 July 2007, Terry and I decided to check out the ads to see if there was a sweet little kitten who needed a home and there he was. His name was Garfield, but we thought Boomer was better.

We brought him to the house and introduced him to Ted and Spot. It took several months for them to understand that he was not the devil. His first night was filled with playing and fun. He found the most expensive blanket in the house.. (a white Nap Luxe blanket from Brookstone} where he began to make his own. We call it the "Mama Blanket" since he nurses on the edges.

By 31 July he was playing fetch with his green feather stick and anything else that was thrown at him. {As long as it was green}

He lost his bottom two teeth on 7 August 2007 and looked like a little kitty Vampire. That was also the day that he fell off the couch and got stuck between the couch and the bookcase. He loves to cuddle and sleep anywhere his Daddy is laying.

He's lazy and super pliable. He'll be sleeping on the couch and you can pick him up and take him upstairs and he will not wake up. When this one is asleep, he's down for the count.

He loves to sit and watch the backyard or any outside location.

He loves to eat. Mostly sugar. He will run so fast when he hears a snack pack pudding open and beg for a spoon if it's chocolate. He loves food in general though and I've never seen a kitten who will eat as fast as he does. So fat, that he finishes first and tries to get to his brothers food before they can finish.

He's often the lookout for Ted and Spot but he's not too good as his job. His current favorite place to sleep is the dresser drawer next to the bed on top of my shorts. He's a big kitty weighing in at a hefty 15-1/2 pounds but it's pretty proportionate for his body according to the vet. He's just a big boy. We love the little guy! :)
