Kazon is the baby of the house and is likely the sweetest cat I have ever seen in my life.
Difficult childhood aside, Kazon could not survive without people — more specifically, he would have a very difficult time surviving without me.
He’s comfortable sleeping on me when I’m watching TV, cuddling with me under the covers when it’s time to go to bed, and curling around my neck on my shoulders to walk around, snuggle, or just to get attention.
He simply must be with me at all times. Derek always called him my puppy because he follows me around everywhere.
Unfortunately, Kazon is as equally uneducated as he is sweet. Although I hate to admit it, he’s one of those dirty family secrets and probably doesn’t have a single synaptic spark occurring upstairs.
Things are always new to him, which can be entertaining, but he’s also impossible to discipline because he has no idea why you’re scolding him or what he’s done wrong — he simply doesn’t remember.
Kazon has the most pathetic speaking habits known, as most of his meows are broken in such a way so as to infer an unbelievably pitiful existence (despite the fact that they’re all spoiled rotten). He cries in the middle of the night, only to run back to bed the moment I call out to him, eager to slip under the covers and snuggle up next to me.
Kazon is always the first to figure out doors, and I mean all doors — cabinets, refrigerators, drawers (of any kind), ovens, and any other door which doesn’t require an opposing thumb and advanced mechanical skills to open. You can see a video of him opening a door (a regular door) via the link above, and you can see he even understands what the doorknob is for. Thankfully he can’t open latches of any kind (knobs, handles, etc.), so there is at least that respite from his autistic gift. Sadly, he has taught this skill to the other three cats, so you can imagine the opportunities for trouble.

That’s the look we’ve come to know and love — and expect from Kazon at all times. It’s blank and without direction. He’s terribly sweet, but there’s not a single synaptic spark upstairs.
“Are you taking my picture? Let me pose.”
Kazon loves to sleep on my shoulders.
Could you say no to someone who ever so gently touches your face to let you know he cares?
