We had a new addition join our household in February. The kids call him Spencer, but me and Tamara refer to him as Butthead. Shelby and I were out for a jog, and a couple of blocks from our house a small stray kitten started chasing after us. When we got home, the kitten ran right inside and made himself at home. He’s been a part of our family ever since.
Butthead is a lot different from our other two old cats. From the very beginning, he let them know he was the Alpha Male. Butthead hogs the food and water dish and chases them away from our bed so he can get the prime spot. The other cats, even though they were bigger than him, were too afraid to fight back.
One thing Butthead does that drives us nuts is he likes to play with the water dish. Whenever we fill it up with water, he splashes it around with his paws until there is nothing left. It makes it frustrating trying to keep water out for the other cats.
He also likes to hop in the sink and shower when we are in the bathroom. He makes himself at home laying in the sink, and he’ll come and peak in when we are taking a shower. Quite often he has fallen into the tub, but the water doesn’t seem to faze him that much.
Noah had a hard time at first because Butthead liked to pounce on our feet when we walked by in the morning. We all could handle it, but every morning we would hear Noah screaming because the cat was biting his ankle.
As evidenced in the picture with Tammy, Butthead likes to sleep on his back and sprawl out. We catch him in this pose all the time in our bed.

It would be nice if we could be that relaxed. What is Tammy? The cat magnet.
