My Kitten Iago

[mkrishnan]

I've always wanted to parent a pet but I never had the opportunity growing up. This summer I moved and I told myself I would find the right cat to bring into my home. I ended up finding this little guy. His name is Iago, and he's 15 weeks old. He's been with me for three weeks. He's a rescued feral, and he lost one of his eyes before he got to me, sadly. He was rescued as part of a research project studying catch/sterilize/release for feral control here at the University of Florida's vet school. He was fostered for 12 weeks by a woman from there, and then he came to me. He's such a cutiepie. And I love him sooo much. So I just wanted to share.

Baby chillin'

Baby loves to read! D someone has to use all the old engineering textbooks I have down there )

And baby thinks he's a tiger!

Cute cat. I especially like the one with him on top of the books. Hey I have two of those books! Knoll and Duderstadt & Hamilton..

Looks like your cat gets into everything like mine.

chuckle.

Must admit, it was funny.

heh heh.

And a very cute cat. I wish I had a pet... my gf just got a flying squirrel and now i'm even more jealous.

iMissing...lol, it took me a minute.

Beautiful markings...way to go on adopting a rescued cat. Our adopted cat from the neighborhood has the most personality of our three. Seems the wild ones can be really cool once tamed a bit more.

Oh he is so beautiful
it is nice to hear of someone taking in a "damaged goods" animal

my mom has a miniture greyhound with three legs
he is something, he is as fast as lightining

Good for you for picking out a cat that most others would shun. I think he is beautiful.

Looks like he has some Egyptian Mau in him.

Or maybe he's referring to the Othello character....

That's what I thought. Don't trust the cat, he's using you for his own ends!

that could be the case... LOL

ROFL He does have his evil wickedness moments, but... Actually the rescuing mommy named him, and I fell in love with him knowing that name, so I just let it stick.

Although in a few minutes, I'm going to use the vacuum cleaner before going over to the hospital complex for work, and he'll be running for his life.

Not really into cats myself, but congrats. Pets are always such good fun, and he's a little cutie.

Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Very cute cat! nice pics.

mkrishnan, I guess you need to add an Iago quote to your signature line now

Here are a couple to get you started

Men should be what they seem; or those that be not, would they might seem none!

You want to trade with this place? Terrific. We'll import all the pestilence and misery we need
