Buttermilk here...no, it's not in the fridge, I'm right in front of you, and rather impatient for you to show me some love. Oh, yesss, that feels good...okay enough. Ummm, sorry, but the only way I know to signal I've had enough is to, ummm, what's the word? You know, when I open my mouth and then close it on your hand, arm or whatever body part is closest??? Bite, that's it. Yes, I bite and I don't give you any other warning. That doesn't mean I don't like being pet, I love it! But sometimes I like 1 or 2 strokes and other times 3-4, but seldom more than that at a time. And since I have no interest in mastering the use of a pen or a keyboard I don't have a way of communicating that exact number to you throughout my very busy day. After all, someone has to make the rounds of the house to ensure everyone and everything is in its proper place. And then there's eating, grooming and napping. I promise to fit you in.
Having said all that, I am not what you humans would call a "Beginner's Cat." I need someone in sync with my moods, who will appreciate my independent and okay, I'll say it, my feisty personality. Children and other animals are not my cup of tea so I cannot go to a home with them.
By the way, I am a Special Paws pet because I'm likely to have some chronic eye discharge, which means my adoption fee is up to you!
