What better way to start off ManCat Monday on the first Monday of the new month than with an introduction to the newest ManCat to Colehaus Cats.

Introducing Quint.

Quint is a scrappy little boy with oodles and oodles of curiousity and energy. He loves feather balls, crinkle balls, jingle balls…basically, balls of all kinds and colors. He has enormous feet and enjoys pawing teensy, tiny specks of toothpaste on the bathroom mirror, creating toothpaste “paintings.” As you might imagine from his first photos, his ears don’t miss a beat. In fact, Mom and the Dad have to keep reminding themselves to take a step back whenever photographing Quint so the picture doesn’t show him with cut-off ears!

Quint was fostered by Foster Mom P who works with West Columbia Gorge Humane Society, a no-kill shelter that cares for and hopes to find homes for the sweet, homeless furry ones in our area. (If you’re looking for a new companion, we can’t possibly recommend WCGHS enough.)

Here, in a rare serious moment, Quint mugs for the camera man.

You all know me, know how I earn a livin’.

the Dad: “Hey, isn’t that a line from some movie…?”

Mom: “He means what he does is be cute. Just look at him! Tell me he doesn’t deserve the cute wage.”

the Dad: “I think he’s stealing movie quotes.”

Mom: “Oh, hush now. You watched too much “Shark Week.”

Mom: “Who’s a cutie?” *kiss, kiss* “Who has big, kissable ears?” *kiss, kiss* “Where’s those pink toes?” *kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss* “Who’s more handsome than any movie star or shark could ever be?”

Please welcome Quint!
