Surveying His Kingdom
"We actually came to look at another kitten, but then the breeder said she had another one that was available, and then she came with Thor in her hands," Cucicov told the Huffington Post. "We immediately fell in love with his beautiful 'orange brown' colors." And it's easy to see why!

Feeling Around
Some pet owners find Bengal cats tough to handle (and sadly, many even end up giving them up to a shelter), but Cucicov clearly gives Thor lots of love.

"Because although we have not adopted Thor from an animal shelter, I have lots and lots of respect for the people who open their heart for the animals that are not wanted and who try to help them find their forever home!"
