Not good with kids, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Named Brix because he was born outside by a community cat mom in a narrow space between two brick buildings. Brix is a beautiful, sweet boy with very plush fur. Brix moves differently than other cats. He has strength in his legs but there is a delay between the signals from his brain to his back legs. Because of this, when he runs or walks fast, his back legs don't coordinate with his front legs and his rear end swings around. But he doesn't realize anything is different! He plays and jumps and runs like any other cat. He has been seen by multiple vets, including a neurologist at Mizzou, and there is no obvious sign of why this is happening. If you would like to meet this amazing cat, please contact me.

Story
Rocky, 11 yr old male was raised by my niece & her family since they acquired him from a Bengal breeder. Their lifestyle changed and needed to re-home, so my wife & I introduced him into our home. Caterpillar, our 10 yr old male yellow tabby is the single territory owner of our home since we acquired him as a kitten. Unfortunately, Caterpillar did not welcome Rocky into his domain. We have separated the house so Rocky has a safe zone, but that separation has limited Rocky's ability to sleep and cuddle with us whenever he wants. We've been trying for 6 months to get Caterpillar to accept Rocky and not chase and attack at random. When we think we're making progress, we have a set-back. Rocky is a lovable, talkative adult cat who just wants to cuddle and play. He loves getting attention from our guests when they come over, including the small children. We would like to re-home Rocky to a home where he can get the attention he desires and deserves. Preferably without cats or dogs.
