Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Winston is a shy but very clingy little guy. He does not like it when he cannot see or find everyone in the house, and will let you know. He also hates cellphones… whether you’re on the toilet or the sofa, he will jump into your lap and bat it away. He is incredibly talkative, and loves to be chased around. It’s also advisable to keep his nails trimmed because he loves making biscuits on your lap.

Winston is ~6 years old. We adopted him from a shelter when he was a kitten and he has been around other cats all his life.

We have two other cats who have more dominant personalities. Because Winston is shy and passive, we have difficulties preventing the other cats from eating his food as he will only eat once the coast is clear. We've tried multiple different strategies, but ultimately struggling since we can't be home all the time to monitor making sure he eats.
