Cats of Kansas City
Keep cool with these five amazing cats

It's so hot in Kansas City that there is little else to do than stay in and enjoy the company of a sweet cat. Don't have a cat? Want more cats? Here are five great options, all ready and waiting just for you at local area shelters.
Musta Kissa

Meowy Matchmakers is overflowing with black kittens right now, one of which is this little girl, Musta Kissa. I thought "oh what a cute name, like 'must kiss' with an Italian accent." Little did I know that "Musta Kissa" is Finnish for "black cat." All of Musta's siblings are also named "black cat" in different languages. Very clever, Meowy Matchmakers.
Musta Kissa is a sweet, rambunctious kitten who enjoys snuggling in between play sessions. She's loving life at her foster home, hanging out with her siblings all day. She'd be even happier in your home and happiest of all if one of her sisters was in your home too. You really "musta" learn more about this girl here.

If you follow these posts, you might remember a light gray cat named Daisy from last week. This week we have her Friends of Parkville shelter-mate and best friend Lars. They'd be thrilled if they were adopted together, but not as thrilled as you would be to have a couple of sweetheart cats that get along like peanut butter and jelly.
Fair warning--Lars is a shy cat. He's not yet a year old yet, so he has plenty of time to come out of his shell. He just needs an owner with a little patience and understanding to get him there. Bringing Daisy along would certainly help him feel at ease too--adopting these two as a pair is just the right thing to do. Here are the two together:

How cute is that? You know you want them. Go ahead and fill out a pre-adoption application here. It doesn't obligate you to anything.
Sriracha

Speaking of heat, next up is Sriracha, an orange and white beauty from Great Plains, SPCA. Sriracha is a bundle of energy. So much energy that she's not always perfectly lady like. She's not wild about being held for more than a minute, and she is in the habit of chewing on things when she gets excited. You might check with Great Plains if she's chewing on people, on furniture, or just anything she can get her mouth on. Best to know if it would be your fingers or your furniture at risk. What's for sure is that she's not the best pick if you have kids under the age of five. Otherwise if you want a lively, lovely cat to keep you entertained, Sriracha might be your girl. You might consider calling her Sarah for short so your vet doesn't mispell her name. You can learn more about "Sarah Cha Cha" here.
LuLu Lemon

Next up is LuLu Lemon from The Animal Rescue Alliance. 100% guarantee: this LuLu Lemon will make you feel better about yourself than any pair of leggings ever will.
LuLu loves attention from the people she loves and trusts, but it will likely take a while before she builds that love and trust in you. That's okay though, the effort will be worth it. She loves soft blankets and laying beside her favorite people. She also enjoys swatting at laser toys and chasing shadows. She dislikes walks in the parks, art galleries, and late night philosophical discussions. You can learn more about this gorgeous tortie here.
Knox

Last but not least, if you just want a good old tabby cat, Knox might be your guy. He's terrific with other cats and dogs. He's snuggly, playful, and entertaining. Comment below if you agree, but it seems to me that tabby cats are the salt of the earth. Sweet, loving, and very little drama. Check out easy peasy Knox here if that sounds like your cup of tea.
That's all for this week. Want to look at more cats? Check out my profile here. Many of the cats featured on past posts are still available!
