About Me

Welcome to Playful Kitty! My name is Robin and I am the founder of Playful Kitty.

Being a cat owner is one of the great joys of my life. Like many pet owners I think of my two cats (you can find their introductions below) as my non-human children. Needless to say, my own playful kitties are the inspiration for everything on this site.

I decided to start this site as a way to create community with my fellow cat lovers. I plan to bring a lot of fun cat stories, cat pictures, information about products relating to the care of cats, updates from great animal rescue groups and more! On this site you will be able to find just about anything relating to cats.

Your feedback is very important to me. Feel free to email me or leave comments about anything that is on the site (or that you would like to see on the site). Send me the stories or pictures of your playful kitty and I will post them for everyone to see!

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit Playful Kitty. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Sincerely,

Robin

Cinco’s Story

Born: January 2006

Favorite Toy: Large white catnip mouse

I adopted Cinco from an animal rescue at a local pet store in March of 2006. He was just 4 months old and the last of his siblings to be adopted. From his first day with me, Cinco has always been a shy guy. He still hides whenever anyone besides me or my husband come in the house. My lap is still his favorite place to be.

Cinco doesn’t know it, but he was (and still is in many ways) and answer to my prayers. A month before I adopted him I had gone through a heart breaking loss. The cat that I had adopted previous to Cinco died suddenly of a very rare cat disease at only 2 years old. I was crushed. When I found Cinco, I finally began to heal. That playful little kitty warmed my heart right up.

Cinco’s name was actually a mistake that stuck with him. I intended to name him after the day of Biblical creation in which cats were made (which was actually day 6). Mistakenly thinking cats were created on day 5, I went through many different ways of saying 5 and Cinco stuck. He doesn’t seem to mind the mistake.

Manna’s Story

Born: June 2007

Favorite toy: My husband or the small catnip mice

Manna was quite the find! She showed up one day on the porch of my Dad’s trailer out of nowhere. She was only 3 weeks old and her mother was nowhere to be found. I couldn’t resist her when I saw her. She had great big blue eyes that just about popped out of her head. I had to feed her kitten milk and give her gentle baths (she had fleas). She never wanted to drink from an eye dropper – she went straight for licking the milk off of a small plate. Manna loved Cinco right away and surprisingly he took to her too.

Manna is full of personality. She is queen of the house and she knows it. Unlike Cinco, Manna welcomes guests and relishes the attention. Manna is always the life of the party. People love how Manna will have “conversations” with them. When you speak to her she will actually meow back. She also loves to get in vicious “fights” with my husband (her favorite game).

Manna got her name from the bread from Heaven in the Bible. “Manna” is a Hebrew word meaning “what is it,” which was exactly what people said when we first got her because she was so funny looking. Also, Manna’s timing for coming into my life was a great lesson in how God provides for me.
