This is Kevin Bacon. He's the official greater and house cat at my vets. He loves all animals and only squeaks.

He's such a pretty boy! And baby Arianna! What a sweetie. I'm glad she stayed there for 18 long years.

u/professormilkbeard Jul 27 '22

Do you think your vet clinic is wondering why on earth they’re getting 100x the usual amount of hits on their website today? I hope they figure it out and let Kevin Bacon know he’s a celebrity now.

u/Satinsbestfriend Jul 27 '22

I am going to show them next time

Six degrees of him.

“Kevin became part of our Highlands family in March 2017. He was surrendered to us as “Abby” because of reoccurring health concerns that his elderly owner could no longer manage. Initially, we had planned to get Kevin’s health issues under control and then find a new family for him. It wasn’t long, though, before Kevin worked his way into the hearts of all staff members, and parting with him was no longer an option. Kevin once was a bit of an introvert and preferred to spend his days sleeping in the back, usually in random boxes (his favourite) and giving staff members alternating Jekyll/Hyde spells of love and attitude. He has since become much more personable and now loves to sleep in his cat tree upfront in reception and waits patiently for clients to come over to brush and love on him!”

My tuxedo almost exclusively squeaks. It’s so cute, she won my heart <3

u/giveittomomma Jul 27 '22

I wonder how many degrees of separation I am from him…?

40

u/Vilam Jul 27 '22

Too many; I need to be petting him right now.

u/giveittomomma Jul 27 '22

Ha! Good answer!

u/rasinette Jul 27 '22

going to need bob tailed squeaks immediately

u/Satinsbestfriend Jul 27 '22

My cat has to possibly go back later this week for some more tests :( I'll see if I can get any more pics of Big Kev

15

u/antney0615 Jul 27 '22

Please ask them to add more to Arianna’s bio. She was the CliniCat™ for 17 years, they must know more about her to make a nice meowmorial for her.

15

u/Satinsbestfriend Jul 27 '22

I can answer some, I've been using this clinic since 2003 so I'm very familiar with Arianna. She was a siamese, maybe not pure bred though. Gorgeous blue eyes, super soft first. Very small. The sweetest thing, I never saw her hiss or growl once. She was always at the front desk, greeting people and being affectionate. Very outgoing.

6

u/antney0615 Jul 27 '22

Thank you!

My Ricki was adopted by my vet and his staff. She is their CliniCat™ and the Practice Meownager (🤣) and they love her fiercely, just like I do. She’s featured on their website and has been lucky enough to be on TV a few times when the local station has visited to do stories about pets.

This is Ricki: https://i.imgur.com/9VU05T9.jpg

u/Short_Praline6842 Jul 27 '22

Yes please! And maybe a squeak vid?

6

u/rundgren Jul 27 '22

Best of luck to your cat!

7

u/Satinsbestfriend Jul 27 '22

Thanks. She had a UTI and they saw some tiny crystals in her urine so once she's done her meds she needs another urinalysis

107

u/Satinsbestfriend Jul 27 '22

He likes to randomly bite at your hand, then go back to purring and wanting pets. He's not orange enough to have only one brain cell so, may even he's just odd

10

u/Short_Praline6842 Jul 27 '22

Mine does this sometimes. He's overwhelmed and confused by being so loved and happy I think. He looks embarrassed immediately after and then comes back for even more head rubs. Mine is orange, but I think this is more to do with being a cat that was abandoned.

2

u/narfnarf123 Jul 28 '22

My orange that was abandoned or lost does this too. He immediately licks me right after. He is the sweetest boy ever.

93

u/MilchMensch Jul 27 '22

He looks so sad and tired :(

Please cuddle him ASAP

141

u/Satinsbestfriend Jul 27 '22

He's not! He had just finished getting a brushing from a vet assistant. He just looks like that for some reason

69

u/MilchMensch Jul 27 '22

Nice, he does look very soft and cared for. Its the small beady eyes though, I love him.

I couldnt ever stop petting this cat if i was around him, he would totally own me.

18

u/Hamburgo Jul 27 '22

He has the same type of eyes my cat Mouse has, like a heavy eyebrow that makes eyes appear smaller and sadder. When he actually opens his eyes up properly they are a normal size but he always gets called “sad cat” by others thinking he’s perpetually sad :( he’s a happy boy, just a heavy brow.

14

u/BrightBeaver Jul 27 '22

> He looks sad and tired

> That's just how he looks

u/ryeguymft Jul 27 '22

oh my gosh I love him. he’s a very good greeter. my cat also mostly squeaks

4

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '22

I got my cat about two weeks ago from a shelter. He was so quiet and sweet there when I first met him. He was the same at home for about a week until he got comfortable and now he doesn’t stop squeaking. He squeaks when you pet him, when you walk past him, sometimes even when you look at him. Here I was thinking I was going to take home this quiet adult cat, but he’s basically a kitten now that he’s home and comfortable 🥰

2

u/ryeguymft Jul 27 '22

same exact experience with my guy! he started squeaking his butt off once he got comfortable here 😂

17

u/cyncicalqueen Jul 27 '22

I love squeaky Mr. Bacon. I am very jealous of you, and the pettings you can provide him!!

u/Gusthepieceofmustard Jul 27 '22

u/carolinapearl Jul 27 '22

u/seanbon112 Jul 27 '22

Kevin Bacon the greatest of all house cats!

u/Particular_Number_54 Jul 27 '22

I also am caretaker of an ambassador cat. She is here to represent all that is good about cats. Her name is Rainbow and she will be deeply hurt if you do not return her greeting.

u/2catslover Jul 27 '22

Kinda looks like a younger Kein Bacon ❤️

u/simmeringsimmone Jul 27 '22

Oh my goodness, the name is so perfect. I think this is the first celebrity named cat I’ve ever seen

u/alenajanelle Jul 28 '22

We have one at the clinic named RJ. He has one eye and is a b*tch. We all adore him 😂.

u/OK999999-999-999 Jul 28 '22

Nice greater.

u/DangitWu87 Jul 27 '22

What?

2

u/Dan_mcmxc Jul 27 '22

They mean greeter instead of greater.

u/Satinsbestfriend Jul 27 '22

Your the first one to catch that LOL

So, being Kevin Bacon, does he appear in other cats photos and movies?

u/chubberbubbers Jul 27 '22

Kevin Bacon has a very sweet face.

u/emeraldxsapphire Jul 27 '22

u/skjellyfetti Jul 27 '22

I squeak too !

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '22

Mr Kevin Bacon to me..

1

u/busydoinnothin Jul 27 '22

Hey my cat only squeaks and he's 8, I never understood why. The answer from the vet was just because. But does anyone know the actual reasoning behind it? He may have meowed once out of fear.

2

u/Short_Praline6842 Jul 27 '22

I read that squeaks are kittenish, so the squeakers are playful or want some extra love and care like a kitten. Mine is a squeaker and uses it to ask to be picked up and held like a baby. Other times, he quacks. I haven't worked that one out yet.

2

u/busydoinnothin Jul 27 '22

My dude can't go beyond a squeak, sometimes he opens his mouth and it's almost like a clicking sound. I assumed his vocal chords just didn't develop Idk I'm not a catologist.

2

u/Short_Praline6842 Jul 27 '22

A catologist, lol. I'd love to retrain and be a catologist, the job satisfaction would be amazing!

1

u/Fernando_357 Jul 27 '22

i wanna meet him

u/HINDBRAIN Jul 27 '22

Good ol' cat bed/tree next to a window. Did that with mine and he spends all day there, watching birds and neighbors.

u/Puzzleheaded-Gas1710 Jul 27 '22

I had the grey/blue version of Kevin. Sinclair. He squeaked too.

2

u/Satinsbestfriend Jul 28 '22

I had a Grey tabby named Satin who only squeaked

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Gas1710 Jul 28 '22

Sinclair was a perfect mix of Siamese and Russian Blue. He was a very weird little dude.

1

u/LulaValentine Jul 27 '22

Omg what a sweet boy. I’ve had a few bobtails and they’re too cute for words. He looks like such a sweetheart. I want to hear his squeak! 🥰
