Particularly for a cat, Roswell is quite outgoing and adores meeting new acquaintances. Recently, he met someone who almost immediately became his best buddy, which undoubtedly surprised his family.
When Roswell’s mother was out shopping, she came across a Halloween decoration featuring a skeleton cat and decided to purchase it. Her favorite holiday is Halloween, and she enjoys decorating for it. What better way to do it than with a tribute to her feline friends? She had brought the cat home and was considering where to put it when she decided it could be entertaining to first show Roswell.
And just like that, a friendship was formed.
“He immediately ran right up to it and started sniffing it,” Lindsey Kuzmin, Roswell’s mom, told The Dodo. “Within a few minutes, he was licking it like he was trying to groom it and kept brushing up against it. I wasn’t expecting him to be quite so friendly with the skeleton cat right away, but he absolutely loves it.”
Now, Roswell spends each day socializing with his skeleton pal. Since his mother keeps it at her office, where he spends the most of his waking hours, it is always close by and keeps him company.
When passing it, he’ll brush up against it as if to say hello and occasionally even give it a kiss, according to Kuzmin.
The skeleton cat also joins Roswell when he goes for rides in his stroller, which is one of his favorite activities ever, and he loves having his new little buddy by his side.
When Leela initially encountered the skeleton cat, she wasn’t as taken with it as Roswell was, but Roswell has helped her change her mind a little. He wants his loved ones to get along after all.
When Kuzmin bought the skeleton cat, she had no idea that it would become such a fixture in the house, and now, it’s so much more than just a Halloween decoration.
“The skeleton cat is like family now, so I’ll be keeping it around all year,” Kuzmin said.
