Yoga Cat of the Meowth

Marco

Seven years ago there was a tiny black kitten who was found abandoned and needed care. He came to us soon after one of our dogs named Polo passed so we couldn’t help ourselves and named him Marco. His eyes were open, but he could not eat kibble yet. This became our first bottle-feeding experience, where we discovered that sometimes a kitten’s ears will wiggle when they drink!

Marco soon got off the bottle and was eating kibble in meow time. You never know for sure what a kitten will look like as an adult cat, but Marco grew into this majestic black cat with the shiniest coat and iridescent greenish eyes.

His purrsonality matches his majestic looks as he holds a calm and commanding presence among the other cats and around the house and studio. He profoundly uses a combo of eye contact and his voice to keep peace and order. When he’s finished cataloging, he comes over for pets while he purrs meowdly. Such a cool cat to be around.
