Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

He thrives with one-on-one attention. He loves being swaddled and cradled like a baby. He’s very affectionate but also particular, so he needs someone who will pay attention to his body language. If he’s overstimulated or feels ignored, he may swat or nip. But if you get him, you’ll see what a goofy, drooling cuddle bug he can be. He’d be a great fit for someone who wants a deeply bonded pet and doesn’t mind a little weirdness.

He’d likely do best in a home without other pets—or possibly with a confident pet who could help set boundaries (though that might be a stretch, since he’s an adult and set in his ways). He’s had long-term litter box issues, so a patient home that understands behavioral challenges is important. He mostly uses the litter box, sometimes for months with no issues—but then out of nowhere, he’ll pee by the front door or poop in the kitchen— even with clean boxes, so I’m not sure what triggers it.
He's met a puppy once with no reaction but has never met kids.
