Story
I adopted Bjorn as a kitten along with his brother Bard on May 6, 2015 so he is 10 now. Bjorn and Bard have been together since birth and are strongly bonded, so this listing is for both of them together. Bjorn has very soft fur and a motorboat purr. He loves to beg for food and will try to eat human food if you don't keep it out of reach. He will do headbutts and occasionally love bites to ask for treats. He tolerates dogs that aren't too playful, and does well with my young children, often curling up with them for naps. Bjorn hasn't had any significant health issues despite being significantly overweight. I'm hoping to find a loving home for both him and his brother.

Story
I found him recently and he’s around 2 from his size and playfulness. He’s very sweet to me and the kids but he does not like my other cat. I’ve had to keep them separated for almost a month now and it’s looking like I can’t keep him long term. He’s cuddly, loves to play, he’s on a wet food only diet. I don’t know his history or if he has one he’s is not neutered. I was trying to do a good thing by taking care of him but it just has not worked out. Due to my other cats health issues I don’t want him to get hurt. Hank is not aggressive by nature but there’s something about my cat or maybe my household that is causing this behavior. We have young kids and I don’t want them caught in the middle of these cats. I’ve tried every feliway plug in, calming treats, separation, scent swapping, and a lot of patience. I just would prefer him to go with someone where he can be the only cat because he loves his humans and the kiddos so much. He’s good with dogs too our dog doesn’t seem to bother him
