"When I saw him in a shelter this week, I immediately messaged Elizabeth and told her I'd found 'The One'," Schultz said. "Elizabeth came over a few days later and perfectly captured the excitement of our new bundle."

"With all three people giving him all the attention and petting him, the cat was in heaven! He even slept through most of it once he was wrapped in his baby blanket," she said.

Schultz said one of the coolest things about all the attention was when someone posted a photo of their own kitten and said the two cats should meet up for a date when they're a little older. "Cat people are awesome," Schultz said.
