Rodger was found wandering about PG County, friendly but emaciated. It was clear that he'd either gotten trapped somewhere, or he's just a terrible hunter and wasn't able to feed himself. Unsurprisingly, since being rescued, Rodger has shown a deep and abiding appreciation for food and will happily eat anything that's put in front of him. He's also shown a deep and abiding appreciation for people who are willing to pet him (we suspect he's making up for lost time). Rodger wants to be with people all the time, and to demonstrate this he's highly interactive and affectionate. He's clearly listening when you talk to him, and wants you to know that he listens best if you're petting him while talking. And he absolutely adores having the top of his head & back of his neck rubbed - he will bow his head until his chin is on his chest and lean into the rubs. Rodger is comfortable around other cats and doesn't mind sharing a space with them; and sometimes he will tolerate having a toy mouse balanced on his head.
