Hotrod® model Meowwwyy holidays everyone 🎄🐾 being chosen by this boy at a parking lot 6 months ago was the best gift ever

Prince Boogerton, aka Theo, wishes you all a happy holiday 🐯🐾 just wanted to share some pics. I found this lil fluffball all alone in a parking lot in June… after he walked up to me, I couldn’t resist being his forever butler. Thank you to you all — you guys are a wonderful community here.

I struggle a lot with OCD and it’s hindered me from sharing my work, my art, my life with the world—really preventing my professional and creative life from growing. I’m working to overcome that with Theo’s new social media accounts — @princeboogerton— if you’d like to check it out :) (Instagram and TikTok)

I’d love to see your SICs in the wild too and their cute/funny moments. One day, I hope to expand into sharing more of my life and work with other people, and wanting to share Theo with everyone has helped me so much.

Never imagined I’d be a cat dad, but it’s something I needed more than I could imagine. Happy holidays to you all, and wishing your lil fur balls lots of love.

He had such a determined look! He knew you were his person, and nothing was going to get in his way. May you both have a wonderful life of love, purrs and happiness!

What a sweetheart 🥹

u/Human_Effective_4197 21h ago

You’re so right. He was also probably starving and tired from the heat since I’m from SoCal—we were both determined! My parents wouldn’t let him in the house so we stayed in my car for a while then motels! He’s won them over a lil more now though 🤭 wishing you the same with your furry child 🐾

Are you two doing ok now?

u/Human_Effective_4197 16h ago

We’re ok! Still really want to move out so he can roam the house freely, and maybe… get him a sibling. I sneak him out sometimes… lol thank u for asking, means a lot

u/MariContrary 15h ago

Aww, he'll win them over. My dude was supposed to be a short term foster, at least in my mind. He had other plans, and decided he was already home.

You have a floofy luxury upgrade too, like my Pawsie.

u/Human_Effective_4197 21h ago

The floofiness is luxurious indeed… After feeding Theo a better diet, his floof is sooo much softer from when I found him!

I have my own mental health struggles and can attest that SICs are very healing! Here is a great picture of my own, Kent AKA Kentucky, Kentuckers, Kentrick, Kentruck, or Dumptruck.

u/Human_Effective_4197 16h ago

Lolol so true about the different nicknames, Theo is also known as, Booger, Goober, Fluffybutt… and I feel you on the mental health stuff. Pets can be such lil angels.

I don’t have a picture of Sammy on the street, but I do have this one of the day he came home. Someone found him and his siblings near the road, and there was a cat nearby that had been hit that we suspect was his mom. The person who found them brought them into the PetSmart my roommate worked at and she called me since I had experience with neonates.

Almost 12 years later, Sammy is my best friend in this whole world. He has seen me through my darkest times and saved my life more than once.

u/echoesinthestars 20h ago

Here he is now in all of his HotRod glory!

u/Human_Effective_4197 16h ago

Wow, I’m so glad you and Sammy found each other. That’s quite a story, and I totally know what you mean. Theo has given me a lot of purpose and hope too.

1

u/echoesinthestars 13h ago

There is definitely such a thing as your soul cat… and Sam is mine. Don’t get me wrong, I am very deeply bonded to my boy Buzzy too… but Sam has been with me for 1/3 of my life. He’s my best friend.

Sam says Merry Christmas to you both! Theo is just as lucky to have you, as you are do have him! That’s the great thing about being adopted by a cat ❤️

u/Human_Effective_4197 16h ago

Hi Sam! Happy holidays, and hope u get lots of treats. Being adopted by Theo was the best thing this year :)

His wittle chin is adorable! What a cute boy! Nose boop and kisses on the head required. ❤️

u/WoozleVonWuzzle 20h ago

That's a PARKING LOT KITTY!?!?

u/Human_Effective_4197 16h ago

I KNOW—couldn’t believe he was all alone, wandering. Someone might have possibly abandoned him there 🤷🏻

u/WoozleVonWuzzle 16h ago

That white sleeve!!!!!!

u/Lady_Scruffington 15h ago

The street cats we feed are seriously all supermodel cats. Two of them are super floofy. I don't get it. They're welcome inside, but so far, no takers. Which is just fine by my SIC. She doesn't want to share the wealth.

u/minkythecat 20h ago

Well aren't you just gorgeous. Merry Christmas cutie pie 🥰

Meowwwy holidays, hoom and Prince Boogerton!🐾🎄🩷🎁🐾

u/Girlgerms23 17h ago

I'm so happy for you and Prince Boogerton!! I think you both needed each other and you found each other at a time that you probably both needed it most - without even realising.

Btw, you'll be alright regarding your OCD (& to me what sounds like perfectionism) the world one day will come to view your works, maybe totally by accident (but cosmically it won't be an accident at all) and you'll feel the relief that it feels like you're looking for. A way for the world to see it all, without you having to break your (OCD) patterns. It'll be alright.

Have a great one friend 🫂😼💕

2

u/Human_Effective_4197 13h ago

Thank you for your kind words—yes the themes around my OCD revolve around perfectionism, self doubt and failure. It’s true— definitely thankful this lil goober chose me and I fought to keep him. Wishing you a good one :)
