Mischief Kirk Brings Action Back to Our Household

Mischief Kirk was born in May of 2009 in a garage with his two sisters. He was rescued by Pink Paws Rescue and Adoption and I drove 45 miles to adopt him. Despite how pretty his sisters were, I could only take him because I already have two cats, both rescues themselves: Danny Girl (10) and Pacey Jack (9). I wanted a spunky kitten who would engage my little boy and girl in play more regularly than I have time for and I wanted a kitten I could teach to take walks with me (in a pet stroller, of course). I've gotten that in spades with this little boy. I've only had him three weeks now but he and Pacey Jack constantly chase and roughhouse together like little boys do, often keeping me awake at night because they aren't silent about it. And whenever Mischief carries a toy mouse in his mouth, Pacey chases him to try to get it away from him. Mischief's still working on alpha Danny Girl -- she's a harder nut to crack, used to being in control. He sits in all her favorite places as soon as he identifies them, hoping she'll join him and snuggle. So far he hasn't been successful in getting her to join him, but she's given this kitten more latitude than she's ever given Pacey, so I think it's only a matter of time before he wins her over. Needless to say, Mischief's other favorite thing is to snuggle in to my side or follow me around the house. And he's been happy to ride in the pet stroller on my walks without protesting. Already I love him as dearly as I do my Danny Girl and Pacey Jack. It's definitely worth adopting rescues, because they love you forever.
