My father passed away a few months ago, and as a result, I had somewhat of a breakdown and started trying to "save the kittehs" from the local Kill shelter. My husband and I have helped three cats so far. One went to one of our friends, one is a foster fail :doh:, and the third is a cat that someone in a different state asked for someone to foster until they could get him, but then they never followed through with that.

He started off as Tangerine. The shelter renamed him to Jonathan. I don't feel that EITHER name fits him, so I renamed him Pumpkin Wigglesworth.

He's a smaller cat, has NO tail, long limbs, is bow-legged, so he wiggles when he walks, has an overbite and sticks his tongue out a lot, especially when getting pet. Overall, he's a weird looking dude, but so incredibly sweet! If we didn't live in an apartment, we would keep his silly, no-tailed butt!

Meet Mr. Wigglesworth









Edit-- I'm working with a cat rescue group, so it's not just me trying to find him a home. Last weekend was his first weekend at Petsmart.

Thanks! He's actually a big loverboy! He just follows everyone (cats too) everywhere and wants to cuddle and be loved and if a human isn't available, the other cats work as well, (though not ALL of the other cats appreciate this attitude). He likes to play as well, but mostly, just skulk around in his weird fashion until you sit somewhere and then come to stand/sit/knead (what I call 'make muffins') on you.

Nope, but a cuddle bug would be a good fit for my current cat who cries and cries whenever left alone and just wants to cuddle 24/7.

Awww, darn! He really IS a cuddle bug. Here is a pic of him cuddling with Pablo, one of our cats.

Baby even when I'm dead and gone
You will always be my only one, my only one

You will always be my only one, my only one, my only one
When the night is calling
