Hello! I was a community stray cat. At first, the lady at Feline Felicity thought I was feral. I really wasn't. I was just very distrusting and scared. After she trapped me at her grandparent's house and had me combo tested, neutered, and vaccinated, she kept me in a large crate in the room where she fed most of the other kitties. I quickly learned to look forward to seeing her at meal times, and all the other cats seemed to like and trust her, so pretty soon, I wanted out of that cage to join the rest of the kitty gang. I do fine with most of them. Unfortunately sometimes, however, I get the urge to kind of chase & bully a select few of them though. The more time that goes by, the less I seem to be doing that bad behavior toward other kitties stuff. I wish I could spend more time getting some tlc all to myself. I think I would love sleeping in the bedroom at night with my special person to call my own and not have to share so much. I'm curious, yet cautious, and can still tend to easily startle sometimes. I love to play, and I love to be petted. I like to be held and carried around sometimes. Sometimes if you put me down when I am not ready to put down, I will go right back to your legs for you to pick me back up, sometimes even reaching up with my front legs like a little child. Sometimes I gently reach out and paw at your hand to make you pet me again when you quit too soon. I want to be where you are most of the time - to be able to see you, be with & close to you, or directly on you! I LOVE my canned food. It's the best, and for optimum health, ALL kitties should definitely have canned/wet food DAILY. Our dry food is usually Iams Urinary Tract Health with real chicken as first ingredient or Purina ONE Indoor Advantage with real chicken and turkey as first ingredients. That is pretty important. But I still like the canned best. And canned/wet food, especially the pate kind with a little extra warm water added, is really much better for our overall health. (In all the foods with gravy, the gravy part, which we love to lick and sometimes then fail to eat the meaty pieces, is really not very healthy for us) Also, fyi, fish-flavored foods are the least healthy for us. Chicken or turkey is best, followed by beef, with fish last. I feel much heavier than I look as I am firm and solid. That means I am a long, lean, strong, and muscular kitty. I need to have a lot of engaging, interactive attention and exercise. Some people who think I look like a sorrel cinnamon Bengal say that I will probably keep growing until 2 or 3 years old. I know one thing. I do not ever want to go back outside! There are too many things out there to make me uncomfortable or hurt me or make me sick. I like being safe, not being too hot or too cold, or scared or wet in storms. Indoors is where I want to always stay with someone who will love me like family and consider me a precious priceless gift to always be with them. Could that be you?
