Aruakai

During Christmas 2013, we found a kitten under my Mom's house. 

His very first picture!

There might as well have been a sign on him that said he was mine because I have always been a sucker for orange male kittens. And tell me you wouldn't have been a sucker for that face too! 

It took a while for him to figure out we weren't big scary monsters out to eat him. But once he did we couldn't keep him away!

His first big catch! (not real, but don't tell him)

Aruakai's name, as far as we know, is completely made up. My teenage brother came up with the name and pronounced it Ah-roo-ah-k-i.

His second car ride. Does this count as back seat driving?

As you can see Aruakai has no fear. He befriends all of our animals. Each day he takes time to visit everyone in the home. He particularly loves Reno, Vota and the guinea pigs. Reno and him spend many hours wrestling and chasing each other. Aruakai loves to play with Reno's long hair!

This is Aruakai at approximately 3 1/2 months old. He's getting so big! His eyes have now changed from blue to a green orange color.

He loves to be cuddled and has one of the loudest purrs I have ever heard. I love him to pieces and I'm so glad we got to take him home!

Please check back as I will be updating this later with more photos as he grows. :)
