Bug joined Dr. Ken’s family after one of his cats passed away
Dr. Ken, seeking companionship for himself and for his other cat at the time, told his clinic that he was looking for a male to join the family, but when an assistant introduced him to female foster Bug, Dr. Ken knew she was a "purrfect" fit. "I took her home to meet my 7-year-old cat, Tiger," he said. "She strutted up to him and said, 'I am here. Deal with it.' She is truly different!". The rest is "kitten" in history.

"I used to own 4 Paws Swim & Fitness, a dog-rehab-and-weight-management center, and I said, 'Hey, cats need indoor fitness, too,'" he told Adventure Cats. "It started with building Big Mountain. Then I added running wheels, climbing walls and everything else.
