What's his name?

We've tried so many names. The kids liked Bebo for awhile (after a CD in our playlist), we tried Rusteez (from Cars), and then Harvey, but none of them stuck.

Sometime in the last few weeks though, we've decided on Rex. Like in T-Rex. Not sure why, but it works. We still call him Kitters, Kitty, and whatever, but if someone asks...now we have a name.

Rex has some strange behaviors. I grew up with 2 cats, so I know they can be strangely finicky, but he seems to take the cake. Rex likes to drink from the shower. He'll go to the master bathroom and meow until I turn on the shower...just enough to wet the floor, then he'll go in and drink. He's horrible at climbing onto the counters and trying to drink from our cups. He's even tasted my coffee. He's broken 2 glasses too. I think he's worse than the kids.

Over Thanksgiving we discovered that he LOVES whipped cream. Now, I know this isn't good for him, so I'm not feeding this to him regularly, but someone in his past must have. He comes running when ever he hears that squirt can of whipped cream. And today, he ate refried beans from one of the kids burritos. I didn't know cat's would do that!

We're still enjoying this furball. My only worry is that the kids love him too much. He doesn't have many hiding places in our house. And just in this week, the kids 'pretended' to give him a bath, but they really put him in the tub. He also climbed into the cupboard space of our kid kitchen...so the kids locked him in there. Poor thing. I hope our love makes up for the abuse. I'm doing my best to look out for him.
