My story

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

Hi again, yup it’s me, Buttermilk. And yes, I’m still here…318 days since my arrival. Hey, I’m not complaining. I have a private room filled with lots of comfy lounging spots and people that visit me throughout the day. But what I’d really like is a true home of my own.

I will be the first to admit that at first I wasn’t the nicest cat in the “colony” here. But in my defense, I have very specific rules about when I can be pet, and for how long…and I like to change them without notice. It took me some time to realize that many humans are not bilingual in Cat so didn’t understand me when I tried to let them know I’d had enough pets. I’m a good student and have learned how to get my point across without biting…most of the time. Sometimes I just like being a little (ok, ok, I KNOW I am anything but little) tease and will mouth you…just because I can (heh heh). C’mon, I have to keep you on your toes. Speaking of big, don’t let my size fool you. Swish a wand toy around my head and see how high I can reach to quickly grab it right out of your hands. Oh yeah, wand toys are definitely my faves.

I love when the folks here come into my room for a visit. And let me tell you, I now know how to work the room. I like to start with the across-the-room greeting, lounging in my bed or cat tree. Then I’ll come and start my dance moves, weaving in and around your legs as I serenade you with meows, chirps and purrs. If that doesn’t get you going, I’ll throw in a head butt or two, or as many as it takes for you to get the message. By the way, the message is “head scritches please.” If I get really desperate, I’ll flop onto my side and beg.

318 days. That’s almost a full year that I’ve been here. I know I have some limitations; no children or other animals and I definitely need an adopter who has experience dealing with what I am proud to call my independent and feisty personality. But can someone please give me a chance to show what a good companion I can be? Pretty please with catnip on top???

By the way, I am a Special Paws pet because I`m likely to have some chronic eye discharge, which means my adoption fee is up to you!
