CAT OF THE WEEK: JT CATSBY

Welcome to cat of the week! This week we have the most precious munchkin cat, JT Catsby. He lives with his mama, Hannah, and happens to be an excellent model (meow-del? not sorry). You can check out his photo shoots on Instagram @otisandjr. Here's what his meow-my has to say about JT:

"JT’s full name is JT Catsby. JT stands for “Just Terrific.” The name is perfect for him because he is a fun, sweet, and terrific cat! Catsby comes from the book The Great Gatsby. In the book, Gatsby is a dreamer who goes from rags to riches. JT has a “rags to riches” tale of his own.

"JT Catsby came from a house with many other cats that were taken to rescues. He was only about 7 weeks old. JT was thin, sick, and very tiny. The house was filthy and smelled like waste. I was nervous and a little scared. I picked him up to get him away from the mess. As soon as I held him in my arms, I loved him instantly. We’ve been inseparable since.

"JT loves to be the center of attention. Posing for the camera is what he likes to do most. He knows what “You are so handsome!” means, and loves to hear it! Sometimes it’s hard to record videos of him, because he stops whatever he is doing to strike a pose whenever he sees a camera! He likes to play outside and chase bugs with human supervision.  JT loves to drink water straight out of the faucet and chase toys up and down the hall. He also loves to cuddle and make biscuits on soft blankets. 

"JT’s short legs do not keep him from doing things just like other cats. He loves to run, jump, and play. He is little and very fast! He even likes to climb the tree in our backyard. His little legs only make him cuter. 

"JT Catsby is definitely a “big cat in a little cat body.” He has a strong personality and is very confident. He’s a boy who knows what he wants, and has no problem letting the world know it.

"JT likes to sit on the fabric and help me craft. One day, I decided to make a small bow for him to wear. He loved it! He has been wearing bow ties since that time. He has ties for every occasion. JT loves his bow ties! JT has to wear shirts with no sleeves because of his short legs. He has a cute and nerdy style. JT picks his own clothes. We put outfits on him. If he likes them, then he will pose so we can take his picture. He loves dressing up!

"Please remember there are many munchkins in rescues who would love to join forever families. Adoption is always an option!"

Thanks for stopping by, JT Catsby!
