My name is Murgi!

I got Murgi from someone on craigslist who was moving out of the country. He is six years old. Though I have had some very sweet cuddling sessions (including little hops and then flops on his side, and he likes his belly rubbed which in my experience is unique for a cat and pretty cute) with him and at times feel like he trusts me, I think someone who better knows how to deal with cats that have behavioral issues would be a better match for him. He is loud at night and as a light sleeper with an early wake up time during the week I can't have my sleep disturbed. He is very shy and was coming from a home with another cat so maybe he needs (or would prefer) a playmate as he is my only pet? Another issue is that I think I'm allergic to him - I can feel it in my face and start getting a headache after being close with him, I didn't get this type of reaction from my last cat. Adjectives I would use to describe him are: sweet, cuddly, super cute, shy, sometimes scared, fluffy.
