My story

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

Meatball (~10 years old) is cat-like. He enjoys sun bathing, sitting on laps for pets, and running in grassy fields. He needs time to warm up to people, but once he does all he wants is to sit on your lap for pets and scratches. He is spunky and playful, he loves playing tug or chasing a ball around the yard. He is potty-trained, not destructive, quiet, and knows basic tricks.

Meatball is sensitive and can be reactive to some noises, larger dogs, and strangers. He is touch sensitive so he needs someone who is willing to take things slow to gain his trust. He has nipped strangers who have tried to handle his harness in the past. He had some food guarding tendencies when I first got him, but we have worked through them.

Meatball's left rear knee has luxating patella which is currently being managed with supplements. He also has arthritis and the vet recommended Librela shots.
