Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Webster, or Webby, is a curious, playful, and vocal cat who enjoys cuddles on his own terms. He often purrs while snuggling against you. When he’s very relaxed and sleepy, he sometimes drools, which is quite cute.
Webby communicates with charming chirps as you pass by, and he’s eager for a play partner. He’s exceptionally smart—it's clear he’s always thinking and learning!
Webby has a slight head tilt to the left, which doesn’t bother him, though it can affect his balance occasionally. It's only noticeable when he jumps down too quickly or from unfamiliar surfaces. The cause is uncertain, but it may stem from an old injury, as tests for other issues, like ear polyps, have been negative.
He absolutely loves playing fetch with small paper balls, chasing them and bringing them back endlessly—it's his favorite game!
Webby’s playful aggression requires training to redirect his behavior. Distraction techniques, such as shifting his focus to a favorite toy, work well. We also use “time outs” by placing him in a separate room for 15-30 minutes when he shows aggression to help calm him down.
Note from foster: I believe Webby would thrive in a home without other cats or with a young, playful cat or kitten. Currently, he lives with a senior male cat, and his rough play style is too aggressive for the older cat. Webby’s playful aggression is something we’re working to curb. He can quickly go from cuddling to biting or attacking, so his adopter should be ready to address this behaviour and focus on training.
