Eros came to us in unusual circumstances from a friends cattery where he had been brought up by the youngest daughter and was bomb proof. I fell in love with him when he was born and being a blue eyed baby, it seemed a perfect match for our cattery. He was also a gift for Gazoo, who at the same time had just lost a litter of 5 kittens. He made her loss that much more bearable and she recovered much faster having a 14wk old ragamuffin to love and cherish. Mae also took a shine to him and he was mollycoddled from the day he arrived.
He was a strange little fellow and refused to eat anything in great quantity and would put himself through a strange starving period and would deny breakfast. It was as though he felt sick all the time? I worked with his needs and put him on probiotics and vitamin B12 to help him over the unusual eating habits. Along with this eating disorder, he would frequently reach out to eat anything non-edible like plastics and hairties. He just can not get enough of it, so all plastic bags have to be securely put away and any hairbands have been changed to scrunchies. He has had a few vet visits for eating foreign objects and so far nothing has been too serious.
When he was about a year old, his hormones kicked in and that was his head blown and his eating disorder got worse and he lost 500g. I took the opportunity to neuter him urgently and after a few weeks he began to eat properly again and put the weight back on. His first Mummy came for a visit and saw the state he was in and agreed that it was sad, but the best thing we could do to make him well. So now, he is a glorified pet and plaything for Gazoo & Mae and a cuddle bug for me. He is so funny and quite the clown and definitely much better without hormones. He now weighs a respectable 3.2k and his super long sleek spaghetti body is much healthier and a plush coat grew back beautifully.
He is a loony and loves to shoulder ride, stand on his head with his bum in the air, fly about being crazy, run on the wheel yelling at full voice and then have copious amounts of cuddles with much purring and kisses and silly kitteny meows. He certainly isn't a kitten anymore , but we all treat him as one and he is like a Peter Pan cat.
To everyone else on FB he is called Eros, but to us, his pet name is Dugi after his great skill of fetch "Good Doggie" I would say and Ade thought I was calling him Dugi and the name stuck for home use. We call his Douglas Furrbanks after the 1920s actor. Silly things that we call our pets. He just purrs and purrs. ANy name will do so long as it gets kisses and cuddles at the end.
