This is Action Jackson..Jack for short. We adopted him a couple of weeks ago. Lili has always been a big help with all of our animals. She feeds the dogs and our cat, Zoe. She loves to play with them but she's really wanted a kitten of her own. We were in Petco and, as usual, we stopped to look at all the beautiful kittens that need homes. Of the three that were there that day, Jack stole Lili's heart.
According to the group that rescued Jack, he was found when he was about three days old. He was the only one in his litter to survive and the woman that nursed him back to health said that she didn't think he'd make it. But here he is; frisky, crazy and the sweetest kitten you'd ever want to meet. They named him Action Jackson because he was such a tough little guy and we decided to keep the name. It was the only one he'd known for four months and it didn't seem right to change it.
Lili is a great kitty mommy. She plays with Jack until the kitten practically falls over. She makes sure he gets enough to eat and cuddles him as much as he lets her. When she comes in from school, Jack pops up from whatever he's doing, (usually napping) to great his favorite little human. Jack makes Lili laugh with all the silly things he does. He's made our Zoe get off her fat butt and move a little more, (the usually have a rousing game of chase around midnight) and even the dogs seem to like having him around. All in all I'd have to say adopting Jack was one of our better ideas.
Let's see if I still feel that way when we put the Christmas tree up. lol
Jack is adorable! If the size of his hind feet are any indication, he might grow up to be a Bigun like my Zander. He reminds me of Zander at that age: same color and configuration. Zander grew into his feet, ears and tail to weigh in at a healthy 23 pounds at his peak--and that was not fat! His frame is Extra Large! Biiiiiig cat.
A word of caution: Jack looks like he's couch surfing. My cat Blue loved to do that as a kitten, and I didn't distract him from it. My couch... oh. My poor couch. It is completely shredded into threads along the bottom now, because at five years old, Blue still couch surfs daily. Because of this, I know what the word "threadbare" looks like!

Oh, so cute!!! And amazing that all the other animals like him. Maybe that's because he's a kitten and they think he's cute, too.
