This was when we first got Kilo. He is however old they need to be to leave their mom..6 months? We rescued him and his two brothers and one sister from a "friend" of ours who were going to feed them all to a snake. We found good homes for his siblings and kept the little white furball....in hindsight maybe we should have kept his black tux brother (That cat took on a Pitt bull and won) It might have saved us a whole lot of headache...especially when he went through the terrible twos. We would have gotten more sleep that was for sure. But in the end no matter how much of an ass he is. He's still my buddy and I love him loads. It has truly been an adventure my furry friend.
