Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Miko is shy with new people, but once he gets to know you, this big boy just wants to show you his belly, get pets, and play!
Miko has some characteristics of the breed British Shorthair because he has a big upper body and is chunky—British Shorthairs were traditionally the mouse-catcher workers of Great Britian. Miko has always loved to play, especially with a feather wand, and can jump 4 to 5 feet in the air, no kidding! Once he gets to know you (giving treats helps) he will actually meow for attention. At his foster home, he had a favorite spot he always ran to for petting and plopped down. He rolled over and looks at you with his round eyes, waiting for head and neck scratches. He also liked to be brushed. Like most cats, he doesn’t tolerate belly rubs, but he always shows the belly to show his trust in his person.
Miko previously lived peacefully with another cat, but in foster, he occasionally tries to assert his authority with other cats. Given a proper introduction, over time he would do fine in a home with just one other cat.
When company comes over Miko gets nervous.. Adopters need to expect a few weeks of adjustment, but it’s entirely worth it because once Miko knows and trusts you he is even more affectionate than the average cat.
