Story
I adopted my cat about five years ago, when she was ten years old. She was in a kennel by herself at the SPCA. In her paperwork, it said that she "pooped outside her litter box," and at the time I thought that it was due to the stress of being in a strange place. After getting her home, she pees in the litter box, but will still poop outside the box maybe once a day. Previous to the SPCA, she lived with an older lady - that's all I know. Her name was Charley, but after I got her home, I unofficially named her Dame Maggie Smith, after the actress. She can be just a bit skittish around new people, and still a bit around me - when I feed her in the morning, I'll sit about four feet away from her. If I stand up after she starts eating, she scurries away until I settle down again. She prefers drinking from the bathtub faucet and will stand in it and meow until I turn it on to a thin stream. She's quite the cuddler, and will insist on lap time and will also prefer laying on you in bed

Good day to you, I'm Benny! I'm a 3 year old, domestic short haired, black and white, neutered male cat who is large sized. I'm a friendly and social cat who loves playtime sessions.

Story
Hello to all, I am Logan! I am a 1 year old, domestic shorthaired, brown tabby, neutered male who is large sized. I am a big lad who gets overwhelmed in new environments so I would do best in a quiet home as a solo cat with people who have some experience with myself. Even though I am shy that doesn't stop me from being sweet and a purr machine when I get comfortable. I enjoy head and chin scratches and once I become more familiar with my surroundings I enjoy walking around. If I sound like your type of guy come and ask customer service about me!
