Kittypants is the proud mama of seven kitties. Happily, she was adopted with one of her spotted little kitties, Britches. Gillian fell in love with the two when she visited them in their foster home. Kittypants (now Simi) was a nervous mama, but accepted hellos and pats. Britches (now Max) was a confident kitten marching around the room always looking for trouble.
Since being adopted, Simi and Max have adapted well. While still somewhat nervous, Simi’s become much friendlier and confident. In the beginning, she hid under the bathroom sink, skeptical of her human parents.

It’s taken a long time for Simi to trust them and it’s still a work in progress, but now she purrs the moment you pat her and is quite playful. Max is a curious kitten with tons of energy, usually used during playtime or to show Gillian where his food is. Both furballs are gentle, lovely companions who are also easy to train. Simi learned to ‘sit’ in about two minutes!
Smitten by Simi and Max, Gillian and her partner love discovering their individual personality quirks. Once Simi realizes she’s getting pats, she always runs over to a good patting spot – carpet or mat – to stretch out as long as she can to receive a full back rub. Max starts purring whenever they talk to him, pat him, feed him, play with him, look at him and pretty much just 24/7.
“I discovered that Simi seems interested in certain types of music,” said Gillian. “When I start tuning my ukulele she perks up and trills. If a soft, uncomplicated melody comes on the stereo, she goes over to the speaker or the TV to check it out.”

As for Max, he apparently has the cutest and longest meow she’s ever heard in a cat. Gillian has a glass door closing off the kitchen (because a certain spotted kitty likes to lick butter if unattended) and around food or play time Max stands on his back paws and holds onto the doorknob with his front paws. He then lets out what Gillian says to be, “a record-breaking longest meow known to cat or human.”
We’re so happy Simi and Max are flourishing in their furever home with endless pats and playtime. Thank you to Gillian and her partner for giving these furballs a second chance and a loving, fun-filled home.
