pete’s glam shot
—
and just like that
in steps pete the cat
(i named him after my fav politician/good human, pete b.)
born memorial day weekend
found in the trunk of an old car in a barn
by faerie tales cat rescue
how could i not support a group with this name
how could i not choose this sweet guy to join our family
pete is a little shy right now and stepping out tiptoe-style
soon he’ll be prancing around
singing his song
in his white shoes
playing and bonding with olive.
both sweet and gentle cats
pete’s foster mom
said his hobbies are
watching tv, eating treats, and playing with feather toys
and
is the most affectionate cat she’s ever met
very similar to olive’s demeanor and minimalist athletic style
i see them as ‘soon to become best friends/siblings.’

In the UK, it is dying out as a name for boys. You can reliably age anyone with my name at being around 50+.
Best wishes, Pete.

At first, I thought your title said “Pet the cat.” That would work, too. This one looks eminently pettable!

Pete’s a beauty, and I especially like the backstory. Pete B. is a favorite of mine too. The foster mom’s comments brought back a funny memory. I’ve blogged before about having pet rats in the classroom. On Open House, I would put the rat cage out with the rat’s dating profile with comments such as, “enjoys holding hands while taking moonlit walks on the beach.”

I loved that whole rat story on the podcast and this is hilarious. and I’m guessing you like Pete’s name for more than one reason –
