Marcus — A Loyal, Chatty Shadow for a Calm, Adult Home
Marcus is a sweet, attentive, and very people-oriented 6-year-old domestic shorthair. He’s not a lap cat, but he shows affection by staying close—rubbing his forehead on your shins, following you from room to room, and keeping you in sight. He’s very chatty, especially in the mornings, and enjoys “conversations” with his people. He’s calm and well-mannered with adult visitors and prefers companionship over food or toys.
Marcus can be unexpectedly goofy, occasionally flopping onto the floor and rolling around in funny poses. He appears out of nowhere and follows you everywhere, including closely supervising closed doors. He has little interest in toys but goes wild for puréed treat tubes (the only wet food he’ll eat). He greets his humans enthusiastically when they return home, often running to them.
Marcus startles easily and is afraid of sudden or loud noises such as vacuuming, sweeping, or mopping. He does best in a calm, adult home. Visiting young children should be supervised, as petting from multiple angles can make him uncomfortable and lead to a warning “fake bite.” He will need gentle, consistent redirection to stay off kitchen counters and tables. Compatibility with other cats or dogs is currently unknown. He has been recently neutered and has a small growth on his neck that should be monitored
Marcus is a loyal shadow who truly bonds with his person. He knows when you’re preparing to leave but is not destructive when alone, and he greets your return with affection and excitement. He thrives on routine, presence, and respect for his boundaries. Marcus would be an excellent match for an adult or couple looking for a devoted companion who wants to be near you at all times—but not in your lap.
