Back story: We were told he was an inside cat who got along well with others; but needed to be placed because they were moving to an apartment that didnāt allow pets. We had several conversations, and got some video (which actually turned out to be old). We paid an adoption fee and paid our friend some money to grab him when she was passing by their area, as he was about six hours away.
However, when he arrived, he had massive patches of missing fur and red blotchy skin from external parasites. When asked about the fur, they said that he had escaped a few times and had likely gotten into cat fights in the neighborhood š³.
We were told he had been vetted; but when asked for the records we naturally assumed would accompany him, we were told that, oooh - everything he had wouldāve been expired. š¤Ø
And, guess what!?! He is a jerk with the other cats. Itās like he wants to be around them, but then canāt help himself. He just has to be a weanie.
He usually likes people as long as youāre not making him do something he prefers not to, or taking away his special fuzzy blankey š¤¦š¼āāļø. The icing on this poor guyās proverbial cake was when he sprayed a leather recliner and, subsequently, had to be relegated to a large indoor catio.
I suppose I should be tickled there was even a cat who needed to be adopted, with so many scams are out there! But, even when you ask all the right questions, folks can be less than truthful, which causes my facial expressions to mimic his.
Needless to say, we got him all vetted up: shots, tests, parasite treatment, etc. and gave him some better food and vitamins to get the coat back into shape. Now he looks great.
We did some limited work on the behavior with the other cats; but, heās really just an instigator š¤·š¼āāļø. And when he actually plays with the others, he is pretty rough. Part of it could be his age - definitely a PUNK. But, he continues to need work on his manners, just in general. And he needs to be neutered, which Iām told will help with his entire outlook on life.
At the end of the day, we have several indoor felines and two outdoor rescued cats. Itās not his fault that he never learned to play appropriately on the playground. However, I donāt envision him adhering to kitty social norms in the immediate future.
He can be very sweet and affectionate with people. So, I donāt want him to have to remain in a separate room & only coming out after I put all the others away. Nor do I think he should become a ruthless kitty gang leader in the great outdoors. He deserves a place where he is the handsome Prince he believes himself to be, without expectations that he become a respectful member of kitty-society. He probably first needs to āfocus on himselfā before he can learn to quit taking cheap-shots at anyone within pawās reachā¦ the poor, incorrigible goober-head š¤¦š¼āāļø.
As far as the dogs go, heās not super impressed. But, I think heād warm up to a big friendly dog eventually. Other cats, not so much šš». He hasnāt been around any little kids, but he gets grumbly (communicatively) when heās being pushed to do something he doesnāt wanna. So I definitely donāt foresee him being tolerant of young kids trying to dress him up for a tea party, or the like.
That all said, we are being šÆ transparent about his respective baggage.
If the right scenario were to present for him, thatād be cool. But, as always, should said situation NOT work out, we would take him back, same as anyone who actually originates here. No shelters or rescues!
His personal ad in the newspaper would probably read something like:
āHandsome loner-type seeks a one-man kind of servant. Must be the non-needy sort ā¦ too much affection is beneath me. (That is with the exception of hip scratches, which should be delivered on the hour). Itās probably because I already have a serious love affair going on with a fuzzy gray crate-pad. You simply cannot get jealous! Ideally, Iām š for a push-over to feed me caviar, as well as buy me a gender-neutralizing procedure.
Must ultimately let me rule the castle, unlike my ex-2-legged, who expected me to behave like a gentleman. I prefer to be a nice guy when the mood strikes me, which means it aināt all rainbows and unicorns šÆ of the time. But as long as you put my wants and needs above yours and anyone elseās, we will probably become besties sometime shortly after the average 2-month feline-relocation adjustment period, of course.ā
