Adorable Kitty: Luka Duka From Paducah

Meet this adorable kitty with lots of names. The Keeping Kittens community is a place for cat lovers to hang out and share their kitten tips and favorite kitten information.

My kitten's name is George Lucas Morgan Solo Skywalker Elswick. He just goes by Luke for short. We also call him Luka, The Duke, Lukeen, Lukey, Lukey Lu, or as the title reads "Luka Duka from Paducah".

However, he isn't actually from the town of Paducah at all. He is actually from the city of Berea, KY. We got him on December 31, 2010. Five days earlier, our four year old cat, Lorrie, had passed away.

I was terribly heartbroken and looking to fill the void that losing her had left in my life. We have two other cats also, but I just don't have the special bond with them that I had with Lorrie.

Enter Luke. From the moment I saw him in the pet store, I knew he was the one from me. He looked just like Lorrie, except Beige where she was Orange. I just knew that she had "sent him to me from Kitty Heaven or something". Luke has turned out to be an amazing cat. I love him more and more every day.

He gets along great with our other cats and our golden retriever, Leo. Our dog is also very close with our other male cat, Stewie. The three of them (the two cats and the dog) are inseperable.

It's so amazing. Never before in my life have a seen a dog and cat be friends but now he is friends with two of them. I think he is even closer to Lukey than he is with our other pet. Lukey, however, is very lazy. His favorite thing to do every morning is come snuggle in bed with me and he would stay there all day if he could. He just loves it.
