I met Milo for the first time yesterday after church. He's an ORANGIE! He is now nine months old and a big kitten. He is so funny! If you throw his mousie a good distance - maybe ten feet - he will chase it, pick it up in his mouth and bring it back. A kitty retriever. I was petting him and he reached for my hand with all his paws, but no claws out. He's been neutered but he has all his claws. Should he ever make it outdoors without a leash he would need them. He will be a total indoor boy though. My niece took pictures of him walking on the piano keyboard, which I will post when I get them from her. He was walking from low to high - Milo the Musician! So, that is how it stands for now. I hope he'll have a long and happy life. P.S.: he looks a lot like Catmandu's Michael, same shape to their heads.

Michael is intriqued by the thought that theres this yound Fellow who loves Mice and looks like him.
We are eager to see this Orange Man of the future and maybe even send him a Big Animal Welfare Mousie if his Meowmie PMS Us.

[Killearn Kitties]

Aww, I can't wait to see photos of the little cutie. :D

[cassiesmom]

Milo and I played fetch with his mousie for half an hour last night. Then he walked on the piano keyboard for me. He is so funny!

[cassiesmom]

Here is Milo. He's got the softest coat! He started to wash about 1/8 second before I could press the button on the camera.

He sure is handsome.:) I've always loved orangies and I think that they're extra special.;)

[CultureJunky]

Ooh what a handsome chap he is! I love his coat, he looks very cuddly and soft ;)

[DJFyrewolf36]

Awww what an adorable ORANGE boy! Reminds me of my grandmothers RB cat, Boots. He was a playful guy all 20 years of his life :) and was one of the first cats I remember being around.

Tell his catmom that he is absolutely precious :)

[cassiesmom]

I cat-sat Milo this weekend because his family was at a wedding out of town. He's now 15 months old (his first birthday was in August) and still growing! I am happy to report that he was a very good boy and gave me LOADS of headbumpies. I adore my Orange Nephew!

[cassiesmom]

Here's a new picture of Milo -- doesn't he look like Catmandu's Michael?

I bet he turned out to be the best Christmas present under that whole tree! :)

[jennielynn1970]

Awe!!! Look at the cutie pie!! He just has such a sweet expression! I don't think there's an orangie I've ever met that I didn't like!

[momcat]

Hi there Milo! You sure are a cutie and you look right at home under the tree. I hope we'll get to see more of you because you've already won yourself many fans here at PT! Sending you lots of scritchies and lovies!!!!!

Milo here ... thank you, everybody! My Aunt Elyse (you know her as cassiesmom) really likes to pet me, so I grab on to her hand with all four of my paws to let her know when I've had enough. She also likes to pick me up off the floor and give me hugs and kisses. She LOVES me. I like her, too, as long as she doesn't smother me with too much affection.

Purrs,
Milo

I wonder if he and Edwina are realted? She came from the Chicago Anti-cruelty too...the one on LaSalle?

It is very nice the way he matches the floor...the better to trip everyone!

[cassiesmom]

Today is Milo's first Gotcha Day. He came to the 'burbs one year ago today. :D

[kimlovescats]

Happy 1st Gotcha Day, Milo .. another special PT orangie! :D

[moosmom]

What a hoot!!! He looks just like Catmandu's Michael. I wonder if it's a omen and it's really Michael's soul coming back as Milo.

[AdoreMyDogs]

What a darling kitty. I, too, am a huge fan of orangies. I've never had one, but I've always liked them. Tuxies and orangies are my favs, and Milo is one cute orangie.

[Killearn Kitties]

I hope Milo had a big party to celebrate! He is such a gorgeous boy. :D

[lvpets2002]
