Killer Kross is known as a terror in the ring, perhaps even a “killer.”
He has left his blood and guts in the squared circle for his entire professional wrestling career and has fought his way to becoming the Major League Wrestling (MLW) World Heavyweight Champion, fending off dozens of other men at Battle Riot VIII in January.
While he may be a nightmare for his opponents, he has a heart of gold.

Kross logged on for an interview with Pak Gazette Digital to talk about MLW’s new partnership with Veeps. During the talk, Kross’s cat jumped into his lap. Naturally, the next question was 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 his entire life.
“So, I’m allergic to cats, like a deathly allergy. My wife and I, about a year and a half ago, noticed there was a kitten on our doorstep,” Kross said. “And every once in a while, we’d see stray cats around. Even when we were traveling and stuff, we were in Thailand, there were dogs everywhere. We always, I don’t know, we always felt obligated to feed them. So, this kitten was on our doorstep. It was clearly a stray. No collar. You can tell. He was all screwed up.
“So he made this cat some tuna. We’d done it before. We didn’t see the cat for a week or two. The cat comes back and we’re like damned. He still doesn’t have a home, he’s still alive. We started doing it every time we saw the cat, it wasn’t every day at first, but every time we saw him, we put our feet on him. And then he starts bringing pieces of mice and starts leaving them on the door. You know how they say: Do they bring you gifts?… I had to look for it. I didn’t know anything about cats. If I came into contact with a cat, I had hives, I had to go to the hospital.

Kross said a dire situation quickly arose where they felt they needed 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 understand,’ and she said, ‘Yeah, I know.’ This thing was left on our doorstep during a hurricane,” he told Pak Gazette Digital. “We felt really bad, but my wife bought him a house. She bought cat frames and toys they could put their claws on. She set him up so he could basically live in the front door so the hurricane would kill him. He stayed there. He came into the house and everything. He lived in our front door for six months or something.
“Again, I can’t touch this thing. And one day I was sitting there and I made sure it was comfortable and ate and started walking along my leg. So I decide to pet it and I get some welts. Finally, after a while, I didn’t have any welts on my hand anymore. Then one day, the thing got attacked. It’s bleeding everywhere. We don’t know what happened.”
Kross said they had to take the cat to a veterinarian and he spent a lot of money to make sure the animal was happy, healthy and comfortable.
“So I paid thousands of dollars to take him to a vet. He let me pick him up; by the way, he’s a stray. He was very friendly to us. He didn’t act like a stray, which was very strange. So we took him to the vet. We did a blood test. He had no blood-borne pathogens. He didn’t have any illnesses or anything like that. He paid for his surgery – thousands of dollars,” he told Pak Gazette Digital. “We had to put a cone on his head. We can’t let a stray dog go out with a cone on his head. So, we cleaned a room in our house and got a complete setup with an automatic cat litter box and everything. We have two dogs, the dogs love the cat.

“They all sleep together, they sleep together, they play together. And the dogs would let us know when the cat was at the front door when it was stray. And from time to time, we would take the dog out and hold the dogs and it would come up to the cat, so that everyone could be a little bit away. But now the cat lives with us and I no longer have a cat allergy. I don’t know what the hell happened. My first time in my life I’ve ever had a cat. He’s amazing. He has a hilarious personality. He’s very smart. Sometimes You think he’s not listening to you, but he knows exactly what you’re saying and he follows instructions and he knows his name. And when I call him when he’s in the backyard, the cat comes in. It’s wonderful.
