Tip

What is there to say about Tip that he hasn't already said about himself? I guess you're not here to hear it so let me tell you: Tip makes A LOT of interesting noises. He walks around chirping or squeaking or whatever noises he feels like making. Normally we can even have a conversation simply by asking him "what? then letting him answer with whatever important information he has to relay to you or literally any passersby. He happily conveys every detail to anyone who will listen. He is an odd boy with an interesting personality that tends to jump from thing to thing to thing. One second he'll be sleeping soundly, next second he's sprinting across the room while making his little chirping noises. Did he see a shadow? Sense a disturbance in the force? Hear a poltergeist? Summoned by some unknown being? You can't be sure and honestly, neither is Tip but he's definitely going to check it out. He is active and seemingly always on the move but those who play hard also crash hard. Once he's ready for a nap, he's out. He would like to be a lap cat but he is very awkward as seeking this out, most likely because it wasn't the norm in his previous life. Once he's been assured that it's okay to be a lap cat, he will curl up and sleep. Then he suddenly pops up, all rested, and is ready to go about the house being weird. He's a funny guy and honestly watching him is one of our favorite things simply because he is adorably odd. So what does Tip require? - An attentive owner. Tip is sometimes very interested in doors or other things he shouldn't be and his owner will need to make sure he's staying secure and safe. He's kind of a jump head first kinda dude and he needs someone to reign him back in. - No young kids. Tip can get kinda nippy at times, not maliciously or anything. He's just excited and we know that excitement is typically presented through biting. - Other cats are...still being determined. Previously Tip was a community cat and had a bit of beef with the caretaker's cat. Hormones from not being neutered? Maybe. He normally doesn't bother the cats he's been with here but I have caught him being a little bit of a bully on occasion. He might just not know how to play but the jury is still out especially since the hormones are still working their way out of his system. Either way, we still don't know. Tip does have a Grade 4 heart murmur. It does not seem to affect him but it will need to be monitored by a veterinarian to ensure he's staying healthy. Tip is about 3ish years, neutered, UTD on core vaccinations, FeLV vaccinated, FeLV/FIV tested, microchipped, dewormed, and on monthly flea preventative.
