Being a cat enthusiast, I spend a lot of time indulging in pictures of these adorable creatures. From polka-dotted to striped or solid coats, cats worldwide never cease to amaze with their natural beauty. Recently, while scrolling through my Tuxedo Cat Lovers group on Facebook, I came across a black and white kitty with the perfect spots, which is known as “cow cats” by some. Ziggy, also referred to as Ziggy-Kai, is a rescued feline that will undoubtedly steal your heart with its unique coat pattern. I approached his owner to feature this gorgeous cat on my website, and thankfully, she agreed! So, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Ziggy-Kai, the rescued cat with an incredibly fascinating spotted coat that will undoubtedly capture your affection!
Meet the charming Ziggy-Kai and his cat mom, who reside in the sunny city of Seal Beach, California. This handsome feline loves to bask in the sun and seek attention from his owner. One of his favorite pastimes is posing for the camera and showing off his good looks. If you’re curious to learn more about this delightful cat, keep reading!
Ziggy-Kai was adopted from the Huntington Beach Humane Society in February 2020. His owner had been searching for a rescue cat for three months and had hoped to find a black and white tuxedo cat similar to his previous pet named Buddy, who lived until the age of 14. Initially named Marily, it didn’t suit his personality, and after much thought, Ziggy was chosen as his name. The zigzag lightning bolts on both his legs inspired the name, making him stand out even more. Kai was added to his name, meaning “ocean,” which gives Z Kai the perfect moniker for this adorable feline.
Could you provide some insights into his character?
He’s a cat with a lively disposition who is unafraid of socializing. He finds pleasure in watching the birds on my porch and I’ve taught him to accompany me for walks using a leash. When I’m feeling low, he’ll come over and show concern by looking straight at me. As a result, I have a strong affection for this feline colleague.
What are his hobbies and areas of interest?
His favorite pastime is playing with strings and small, fuzzy balls. He can even retrieve things and bring them back to me, which is quite an outstanding talent for a cat. He craves attention and enjoys entertaining my guests and clients. Despite his endearing qualities, he can be a tad bothersome at times because he always wants to be the center of attention.
What sets Ziggy-Kai apart that I’d like to share with everyone? Well, this furball has quite the personality – he’s obsessed with taking showers and getting his locks washed. He also adores sticking to my side, although I ensure that others get a chance to shower him at least once a week. Whenever visitors drop by, he promptly nuzzles up to them and lifts their spirits. All in all, he’s the most excellent companion anyone could have!
I’d like to extend my thanks to Nina, the owner of Ziggy, for allowing me to share both Ziggy’s story and pictures with all of you. If you’re aware of any cat lovers who may enjoy hearing about Ziggy’s unique qualities, please feel free to pass along his narrative.
