DSH orange tabby and white
Microchipped
Preston is a happy goofball. He’s quirky, funny and independent.
Preston’s love-language is leaning against his human’s legs. He likes to be with his people, but he’s particular about how much patting he’ll tolerate. A few strokes, and that’s enough. If you dare pet him for too long, he’ll warn with an ear twitch, then a firm smack (without claws). Give him a few seconds of strokes or chin-rubs, then love him and leave him!
Not respecting Preston’s boundaries may push him to defend himself. A smack could escalate to a bite. He needs a guardian who will learn his body language and earn his trust. It’s only stroking that he’s finicky about: he can be picked up and carried. He’s okay with people stepping over or past him.
Preston likes people: if you’re rearranging furniture, or cleaning out a closet, he’ll be right there supervising. He’ll sit in the kitchen while you cook, and sprawl on the couch for a movie. He often sleeps with his humans at night. He’s quiet at night.
His energy level is moderate: he likes new and interesting things, but he also enjoys long naps. He loves wand toys! He needs a cat guardian who can spend time playing with him.
Preston would like to be an outdoor cat. He sits at the patio door and looks up expectantly. He does not yowl to go out or pick at the screen. His foster has explained that outside is a bad place for a cat to be, and he’s starting to accept it. His guardians must take care when opening doors or he will be off on an adventure.
Preston tolerates other cats. At first he didn’t care for his kitty roommates, but he’s clever and adaptable and learned to join their mad racing around the house. He could live with a good natured cat, especially if they let him join their reindeer games. He could also be an only cat. When he first met the resident dog he did not like her one bit, but after a few days learned to ignore her. An energetic dog may overwhelm him.
Note from foster: Preston is a lot of fun. He’s easy to live with, and is the first cat to greet me when I come home. Now that we know each other better, he’s a lot less likely to smack. He’s full of love, in his own quirky way.
