I’d like to introduce you to the best Valentine’s Day surprise I’ve ever had… Kylo Ren!
I met him a couple weeks ago at PetSmart when Sophie and I went to visit her foster mom, who runs the adoption events for Circle of Friends Animal Society at PetSmart on Sundays. He caught my attention because he was rambunctious and full of energy, running around and pestering all of the other cats with his antics. It made me laugh and reminded me of Caster. They seemed like they would be two peas in a pod. I mentioned him in passing to my husband, not because I thought we should get him, just because he came up when I was telling Bobby about my afternoon.On Friday, I went to visit a friend of mine for the weekend. I got home Saturday evening, and my husband told me he had a Valentine’s Day surprise for me, but that I had to find it. I looked around for a few seconds, and then in ran this little guy! I was COMPLETELY shocked and surprised, I didn’t even know what to say! I just kept smiling and laughing and asking Bobby over and over again if it was real.
Bobby had called Sophie’s foster mom on Saturday, and having no idea what the cat’s name was, described him to her to find out where he was and how he could get him. Rebekah told him where to go, Bobby did, and there ya have it – this adorable little guy is ours.We named him Kylo Ren, after the villain from the new Star Wars movie. Kylo Ren was my favorite character in the movie (the villains always are), and he wears all black – very fitting I think! Kylo Ren the cat has settled right in here already, and everyone seems to like him. As when I first met him, he runs around the house and pounces on everyone. It’s adorable. It’s been so long since we had a kitten in the house (Sampson was the last kitten we had) – I forgot what it was like to have that kitten energy running around. So much fun.
I hope you all will enjoy watching this little guy grow up with us. I know I will!
What an awesome Valentine’s Day surprise! Kylo Ren sounds like so much fun!
Oh my goodness, nice to meet you, Kylo Ren!
Wow, he is super adorable! He’s got such a beautiful, fluffy coat, and very sweet look on his cute face 🙂 Glad he is already settling in, and everyone seems to like him. It’s gonna be so much fun to see him grow for sure!
He is absolutely beautiful! His fur and eyes are really stunning. Congrats on the new addition. We only have three cats right now, but about five years ago we had six, too.

What a wonderful story and such a handsome little guy! We can’t wait to hear about the antics of Kylo Ren!
So… what does Caster think?
He kept his distance until last night. They two of them spent a good while chasing each other and wrestling, and Caster showed Kylo Ren his wall climbing move. I think the two of them are going to be great friends for sure!
Welcome home handsome little dude!!! Dang, you will soon find out that you hit the jackpot!
Welcome Kylo! May the Furrrce be with all of you.

He is adorable!! And a lucky kitty. A perfect Valentine’s gift indeed. Nearly the same thing happened to me. I was interested in a ginger boy at the county shelter, but my husband thought we had enough. Then he called me at work last Wednesday to suggest that as a Valentine’s gift to each other, we go adopt him. I wrote about our new addition on my blog today. 🙂
Kylo Ren is adorable. That is the best gift ever 🙂 And your husband sounds like a sweetheart, mine would never get me a cat. I had to fight for every cat I brought in.
Aw, Kylo Ren sure is a cutie! And we’re glad to hear he’s making himself right at home and the others are accepting him. We can’t wait to get to know him better.
Kylo Ren is a most handsome house panther. Looks like he has find his niche and is quite comfy in your home.
