Hey guys! If you're not aware, I got a kitten just over a month ago and I've been longing to do a tag since- it just wouldn't be viable if I'd done it before I got to know him! While the photos may not be the best of quality (good old Snapchat), I hope you enjoy reading!

What is your pets name?
My kitten is called 'Lord'- my mum came up with it and I loved it! It was hard to find a name that everyone liked, and I also wanted something that I could say in English and Lithuanian (as I speak Lithuanian at home).
What kind of pet is it and what breed?
I think it's pretty self explanatory that he's a kitten, and he's a Silver Tabby British Shorthair!
How long have you had your pet friend?
I've had him just over a month now!
How did you get your pet?
This is a very long story! We were going to get a kitten for my mum's birthday and she always wanted a British Shorthair, so that was the breed that we were looking for. We went to view a kitten and I was getting very bad vibes about the seller and the surroundings, but my parents left a deposit anyway. After we left a deposit, we were supposed to pick the kitten up a week later and he was supposed to be getting microchipped a few days before, we text the seller- no reply. Then, we rang the seller- no reply. Over a few days, I think we rang the seller over 10 times and the only reply we got was through text saying the phone was "sold" to a lady. You clearly don't sell your phone with the sim card inside so this person had obviously scammed us. We went back to the house two times (bearing in mind this is a 40 minute drive) and neither of those times did we get an answer. Obviously, we were pissed off but there was no way that we were going to get our money back so instead, we looked at other listings until we came across this one. We went to view him and everything was perfect, he was litter trained, old enough (the other kitten looked worryingly young in comparison), and was all in good health. Now I think it was a blessing in disguise as we know that we got a healthy, litter-trained and happy!
How old is your pet?
Now 4 months!
What is your favourite memory with your pet?
This probably has to be within the first few days of me getting him, I was on FaceTime to my best friend Katie and all of a sudden, Lord just winked on camera! It was so funny! Either that, or his habit to lie down in the litter tray after you've washed it and are adding in more litter- after that, you can have to carry the litter tray back to its original place with him inside it and it's beyond cute!
I have no clue if that made any sense at all...

What are some quirky things about your pets personality?
Well I mentioned his little tradition of sitting in the litter tray as you're pouring litter, and then having to take it back while he's in it- but also, I've found that he's quite loving towards people and will let you stroke him pretty much everywhere (which I know a lot of cats don't like!).
What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?
A lot! I had 4 hamsters before and grew an emotional attachment to all of them, and in general... I love animals so I absolutely adore having little Lord (although he likes to dig his nails into furniture.)!

What are some of your favorite past times with your pet?
Although he sometimes hates me for this, I like to pick him up and hold/carry him and also, he loves to play! His favourite toy is a little toy mouse we got from a local pet shop and has been since day one, he can't go to sleep without it in its bed and takes it everywhere with him!
What are nicknames you call your pet?
I don't really class this as a nickname, but I call him 'Lordai' in Lithuanian!
