Foster cat`s bio for their adoption profile: This is Mashi (full name Pismashio). He is a big tom cat that has had a rough life so far. He came to Scat with a big wound on his face and was very cranky. He was at PAWS in Martinsville until his current foster mom picked him up. He had already been named Pismashio because of his temperament to want to smash his paws/claws at anything that came near him. But when he went to his foster home, he was dubbed Mashi, to try to change the stereotype that he would always be that way. He has been with his foster mom for almost 2 years. The first 1.5 years were very slow going with not a lot of external progress. Over the last 5 months, his personality has almost completely changed!! He integrated with the other cats in the house (he loves cats more than humans--instantly likes any cats he meets). He is very food motivated (especially meat tubes) and learned tolerate pets when distracted by treats. His foster mom can now even pet him, scratch his chin, and sometimes tummy (if the mood strikes) without treats--but usually its on his own terms. He even tries to sit on her lap every so often now. He also has a beautiful meow; he didn`t make any meows for the first year (only hisses/growls) and now he meows lots. He rarely hisses anymore AND hasn`t scratched/clawed/bit anyone for over 7 months! That`s the kind of progress we love to see.
He still has some progress to make but with how good he has done these last few months, we would make such a wonderful pet to someone soon! He is very inde
