Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Icarus is the cuddliest cat I have met and even just petting him or lightly touching him will get him to start purring. He loves playing with feather toys and has a crazy vertical jump. He insists on being included in conversations and will always lay between your legs when you try to sleep. I think he likes being surrounded by comfort, which is why he takes naps under blankets. He also really enjoys being carried around places so he can sniff things and rub his head on your chin.

I can't keep him because after all my attempts to help him be comfortable, he still is extremely anxious and territorial around my other three cats. I have him on medication to help but he sprays in areas around the house and attacks the others when he gets the chance. I think he just needs a house he can be comfortable in because despite the issues with other cats, he is a joy to be around. I will miss him but I want the best for him.
