Quite often he’ll play fetch with his toys, and loves to go careening into the next room trying to catch the toy. He’s a real goof ball and a constant source of entertainment!

- How I found my home: Melissa & Kevin brought me home from Indianapolis on an AIRPLANE on Valentine’s Day 2010. I spent my first night away from where I was born in a motel room, hiding under the bed. I was lured out briefly with the “Sparkle Wand.” Thankfully, the plane ride was brief because I did not care for it one bit! Read about my first few days in my new home here.

Wow Ritter is beautiful and seems ready for anything. High energy and fun are two words that come to mind. Thanks Melissa and Kevin for sharing your story about being owned by Ritter, there is nothing more fun or beatutiful than being owned by a cat! #CELEBRATE.
I loved reading about Ritter and the video. He does seem to be a good source of entertainment. Maybe he should have his own Facebook page. Just a thought. Your article about Ritter made me smile.
Thanks for sharing.

He’s a pretty cat and has a sweet face. I love it that some of his hobbies are sleeping on different size beds (along with being quite active). Looks like he likes the dining table, too (a favorite place for my cat Tiger). Who doesn’t love a cat?? Thanks for sharing Ritter’s story.
Wow what a beautiful cat, looking forward to adopting a cat in the near future~Gotta love those sparkle wands~!~#CELEBRATE
Wish I wasn’t allergic to cats or else I’d have one!!
Ritter looks like a sweetie. #CELEBRATE
