My story

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

Big Boy is a charming, affectionate feline companion who loves nothing more than snuggling up close to his human. He's a true lap cat and will eagerly follow you from room to room, seeking attention and affection wherever you go. Big Boy is incredibly social and enjoys being in the company of his human friends, whether it's lounging on the couch or cuddling up in bed for some quality bonding time. He's known for his gentle nature and is quick to warm up to new people, often seeking out pets and lap time from anyone willing to give him some love.

Big Boy is a pro at snuggling, and he's quite the expert at seeking out attention when he wants it. He's also quite playful, particularly enjoying games that involve chasing feathers or hunting down mouse toys. While he's not a huge fan of the laser pointer, he'll gladly engage in playtime with a bit of encouragement.

Big Boy hasn't had much exposure to other animals, but given his sociable nature, he may enjoy the company of another cat or a cat-friendly dog. He's shown an affinity for his human foster friends, quickly warming up to them and seeking out affectionate pets and lap time.

Big Boy loves being brushed, even if he's still getting used to the sensation. He particularly enjoys dry food. Providing him with puzzle feeders or interactive toys can help keep him mentally stimulated and engaged. He's also quite curious and may try to explore cabinets and doors if he's feeling bored.

Big Boy would thrive in a home where he receives plenty of love and attention, as he craves companionship and affection. His new family should be prepared to provide him with regular playtime and interactive toys to keep him mentally stimulated and prevent boredom-induced mischief. Helping him adjust to a consistent feeding schedule can also aid in curbing any nighttime begging behaviors.

Due to his weight, it's important to monitor Big Boy's diet and ensure he receives regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight. Consulting with a veterinarian about a suitable diet plan and exercise regimen would be beneficial for his overall well-being.

Big Boy would make an ideal companion for someone seeking a snuggly, affectionate feline friend who enjoys spending quality time together. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or getting ready for bed, Big Boy will be right by your side, ready to shower you with love and affection. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, consider welcoming Big Boy into your heart and home today!
