Rhett is very sweet and is still pretty shy with strangers. He has relaxed more in his foster home and will actually initiate contact. Rhett can be a little vocal some to people and will occasionally let you hear his purr. He is good with other cats, dogs and kids. Rhett plays with the other kitties in his foster home, ignores the dog, but most of the time tends to get on a high spot and watch everything going on below. Rhett sleeps on top of our amoire, he's very quiet and will come to you for lovings. He is very shy and will take a while to come around in new surroundings. He is litterbox trained, loves treats and has a great appetite. He's not big on being held, but will allow the occasional hug or two if you must. He tends to come to you when he wants some attention. Rhett loves to look out the window and watch the happenings of our neighborhood.
