My story

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

Tux is a true gentleman. A wonderful lap cat for a calm environment. He isn't demanding - doesn't meow or make a fuss, just gives some head bunts, then snuggles up and purrs and purrs and purrs. He also makes the cutest little chirpy meow sound.

Lately Tux has started showing me his quite impressive belly and bunny kicking for no apparent reason. I have not fallen for it, though, as I suspect it’s a cuteness trap. He is declawed in front, but could still use his pointy little teeth if boundaries were crossed.

Tux will make a wonderful bed warmer. He loves to crawl under the covers to take a nap. “Where’s Tux?” He’s probably that lump on the bed.

He was living with a dog, but we have not finished introducing him to ours. He doesn’t seem bothered too much by them barking in the distance, but hissing and growling ensue when they approach the gate across his door. He does calm eventually if they just lay down (they want to be by mom). Same with our cats.

We currently have him on a diet of mostly wet food with a couple tablespoons of water mixed in (2 3-oz cans per day). It is higher protein and lower carb than dry food. He is a chonky boy, with a couple pounds to lose. He does also get a little dry food to keep his teeth clean.
