HAPPY CATURDAY!!!
Zeus has officially gone nuts for nuts HA HA. Literally!
For those who don't know Zeus is the baby out of all our kitties. We have 7 total kittens that were born two years ago from 3 feral mothers. We have other cats too but the main 7 are the ones I stay focused on for Caturday blogs and stuff like this. Recently 2 and a half months ago my wife and I separated and Zeus came to live with me. So these days Zeus will be the only cat I feature until I return home.
What makes Zeus so special is that he is a mutant kitty. And I don't mean this facetiously. Zeus's spine didn't fully develop because he was born with a crooked tail bent in two places. If you look closely in the video you can kind of see the bend in his tail where one section is crooked. The feral mamma cat who had him is an old, mangy, Russian Blue that is malnourished because after all she is a wild feral cat that lives outside. So usually all her kittens die right when they are born because we've never seen any of them... Until we found Zeus (and the others).
The night we found them Zeus still had his eyes closed so he couldn't of been more than a week old. The other kittens were a lot bigger, had their eyes open, and more developed. We think the mama kitties had their litters only a week or so apart from each other. The other mamma kitty was a regular striped tabby. Baby Zeus being a grayish blue still with his eyes closed looked just like the Russian Blue mamma. So the other kittens had to be from the other mamma cat. We weren't even sure Zeus was going to make it because of how tiny he was. We were shocked he was even still alive at all due to the health of the little Russian Blue mamma cat. Right away we noticed his crooked tail. So we knew this must of been a birth defect as a result of her health. His left eye has always been watery too. Which makes me think he was born with acute sinus issues too.

This is the main baby picture of Zeus I've used before in past cat blogs featuring him.
Zeus stayed tiny up until he was about 6 to 7 weeks old. By then he started getting bigger. Not long after that his stripes started coming in. That's when we learned that he was growing up into a gray tabby. We got the sweetest most cutest little gray tabby kitten from a Russian Blue mamma cat. I guess this makes him a gray tabby/Russian Blue mix.
Zeus is now 2 years and 4 months old. He is still the smallest cat out of all the kittens that were born two years ago. last time we were at the Vet he weighed only 6 pounds. Besides growing up to be a small cat, he is very healthy and happy. He enjoys playing with hair ties and now acorns as you can see HA HA.
No matter what he will always be my Baby Zeus.
When he isn't chasing hair ties and acorns around the apartment he's on my lap needling my face HA HA. Here's the PROOF!

Hey thank you! I hope these CAT tokens pay off someday. For now I'm just going to HODL them.
They do sort of pay off now if you HODL enough of them. While you HODL them, they turn into CATnip and attract "cuddles" (upvotes) from the Steem kittens, @cuddlekitten, @steemkitten, and @steemeow, which then get trailed by @catnet to dustproof the "cuddles". It's not a whole lot—two and a half cents here and there—but it's something. And the kittens sometimes leave cute comments under your posts. You can check out @catnet's profile for all the information regarding CAT (Cat Appreciation Tokens).
There are also plans in the work for sinks for the tokens and more fun things that we can do with them.
You're welcome to join the Caturday Discord. It's where all the cat lovers hang out. There's a channel for promoting cat related Steem posts, and it's also the first place where news about CAT and @catnet are announced. I also give out CAT to people who participate in the chat or promote their posts in the post promotion channel.
Once more, happy Caturday!

That cat needs some catnip..
Yes he does! Now that he is on his own living with me and away from the other cats I can give him some. Soon...
Happy caturday! Hope you are doing well.
Thanks Beth, hope you've been well too. I'm doing better since I was two months ago.
