Killer Kross is known as a terror in the ring, maybe even a “killer”.
Pouring his blood and guts into the squared circle throughout his professional wrestling career, he worked his way up to becoming the Major League Wrestling (MLW) World Heavyweight Champion and fending off dozens of other men at Battle Riot VIII in January.
Although he can be a nightmare to his opponents, he has a heart of gold.

Kross signed on for an interview with Pakinomist Digital to talk about MLW’s new partnership with Veeps. During the chat, Kross’s cat jumped onto his lap. The next question was naturally about the animal.
He explained how he and his wife, professional wrestler Scarlett Bordeaux, brought the cat into their lives. He said he was allergic to cats all his life
“So I’m allergic to cats, like deathly allergic. My wife and I, about a year and a half ago, noticed there was a kitten at our door,” Kross said. “And every once in a while we’d see stray cats around. Even when we were on trips and stuff, we were in Thailand, there were dogs everywhere. We always wanted to, I don’t know man, we always felt compelled to feed them. So this kitten was at our door. Definitely a stray. No collar. You can just tell. It was all fed up.
“And so she put out a little bit of tuna for this cat. We’ve done that before. We didn’t see the cat for a week or two. The cat comes back and we’re freaking out. It still doesn’t have a home, it’s still alive. We started every time we saw the cat — it wasn’t every day in the beginning — but when we saw it, and then we’d start bringing it. leaving it at the door

Kross said a serious situation soon came where they felt they had to keep the cat as safe as possible — a hurricane.
“And there was a hurricane. We were like, ‘I’d love to bring it into the house, but you know what happens,’ and she said, ‘Yeah, I know.’ This thing stayed at our door during a hurricane,” he told Pakinomist Digital. “We were so bad, but my wife bought a house for it. She bought, like, cat structures and toys for them to put their claws on. She had it set up so it could basically live by the front door, so it would be killed by the hurricane. It stayed there. It went into the house and everything. It lived by our front door for six months or something.
“Like again, I can’t touch this thing. And I’m sitting out there one day, and I’m making sure it’s comfortable and it’s eating, and it starts walking along my leg. So I decide to pet it—got some hives. Finally, after a while, I didn’t get hives on my hand anymore. Then one day, the thing gets attacked. We don’t know what happened..”
Kross said they needed to get the cat to a vet and he shelled out some big bucks to make sure the animal was happy, healthy and comfortable.
“So, I paid thousands of dollars to take it to a vet. It let me pick it up — this is a stray, by the way. It was very friendly to us. It didn’t act like a stray, which was so weird. So we took it to the vet. We got it blood tested. No blood-borne pathogens. It didn’t have any illnesses or anything,” he said of Fox being operated on. “We had to put a cone on the head. We can’t let one walk out there with a cone on the head. So we cleared out a room in our house and got a full setup with an automatic litter box and everything. We have two dogs – the dogs love the cat.

“They all lay together, they sleep together, they play together. And the dogs let us know when the cat was at the back door, when it was stray. And once in a while we’d take the dog out and we’d keep the dogs and it would come near the cat so they could all be at a distance. But now the cat lives with us and I don’t know what I’ve ever been allergic to. first time in my life I’ve had a cat. It’s a funny personality. Sometimes you don’t think that it knows exactly what you say and it knows its name.
