My Uncle now calls his female cat with testicles.....Jenner. Seriously, I was cracking up as he told the story.
Michael Schumouser or Juan Pablo Monkitten. We have Danica Catrick right now.

Rude and inconsiderate!Me thinks the "deaf kid" reference wasn't very nice.
The second cat, the one we are considering fostering, also looks like Toonces. (and we would likely be adopting if he gets along with our new kitten, who currently exists in a different room at the shelter)
But I have one related question for cat folks. The shelter lists him as 16mo old. But he is HUUUUGE. (12lbs) Has anyone seen a 12lb 1YO cat before? Just seems big for that age. Plus he was fixed AND declawed before arriving at the shelter. Just seems like he would be older than estimated based on all factors. And it does make a difference. Adult cats are cheaper to adopt than kittens.
What did you say?!?!?!Rude and inconsiderate!
I can almost guarantee that the cat's just fat and lazy after being neutered and declawed. Is there a "belly wattle" aft of his rib cage? Happens often to fixed cats. Our male cat is big. Like Maine Coon big - just not as hairy. But most of it is due to his belly wattle. Granted, he'd be big without that...
Hey wait... I've got a belly wattle and I haven't been fixed! I do confess to being lazy from time to time though.I can almost guarantee that the cat's just fat and lazy after being neutered and declawed. Is there a "belly wattle" aft of his rib cage?

He came home with us this afternoon, and his personality TOTALLY changed from the kitten room at the shelter. (they are free to roam and play with their buddies.) There he was all play, no cuddle. Like a kid in a gang of his friends at the playground. Just like a kid, he didnt want to be held and cuddled. That took away time from his friends and toys apparently.
Got him home and within 5 minutes he was purring so loudly you could hear him across the room. He barely purred at the shelter. And I dont think he has stopped since. He's purring as he walks around the house exploring.
We were considering getting a second, older cat who would be lovey. No need. This boy is a lover. We were playing a card game on the floor with the kids (Simon's Cat, coincidentally) and he went from person to person, nuzzling and licking, and then curling up in their lap for a few like he was ready for a nap.
The tentative name is Popcorn. Marshmallow is a second choice because he looks like a partially toasted marshmallow. white with golden brown patches.
Wifey says Dobbie.

Well, kids have decided that Gizmo it is. And I guess he responds to it too. That was fast. (he ignored other names)
