Kurt

You know the grandpa or the great uncle who visits and immediately makes himself at home. He lowers himself down in the most comfortable chair and asks you to get him a glass of scotch and the remote control or the newspaper? He doesn't understand boundaries, doesn't get offended, and still thinks of a family in the traditional sense so he asks when you're gonna settle down and have kids. But despite his crassness, you adore him and relish the time spent with him. Well that is 15 yr old Kurt, only he will ask for some treats and a soft blanket.

He'll amble around your home immediately upon arrival, introduce himself to your cat, even if your cat is not enamored with him and shuffle around until he's found the most cozy spots, which might just be on your chest. He wants to know what you're doing and where you're going and especially what you're eating at all times. He's not shy to tell you what's on his mind, ask for belly rubs or express his joy with lots of purring when getting brushed. He is a part of the scene, schedule and routine from the moment he arrives as if he's been there for 15 years. Maybe he's seen enough in his long life to not be fazed by much.

Despite his age and the fact that he is FIV positive, he is remarkably ok health-wise. He battled an upper respiratory infection and anemia, got a dental clean up and had a few hurdles to jump over, but with the excellent care that he received at West Chelsea Veterinary, he got over them and now he's just a content one-toothed, drooling little old man who makes you smile all of the time!

PS: He's still a working man determined to make biscuits of your arm, leg, belly etc. He's single pawedly keeping the bakery open.
