Male Cat, Oriental Short Hair
Oriental Short Hair / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Meet Mouse, a striking lavender Oriental Shorthair who is a purebred, nearly 8-year-old neutered male with a big personality, a dramatic voice, and the regal attitude of a true house prince. Mouse knows what he wants and isn’t shy about letting you know - he adores his humans, follows them from room to room like devoted royalty, and will “announce” his presence with loud, expressive meows before settling nearby to supervise. He loves high places, cat trees, and perching like a proper diva king surveying his kingdom. Mouse has very specific preferences fitting of his royal standards. He needs a large litter box with high sides, as he digs with dramatic enthusiasm - sometimes attempting to “dig to the middle of Earth” - and only uses clumping clay litter such as Precious Cat/Dr. Elsey’s or Fresh Step. Alternative litters have caused issues in the past, and he will absolutely voice his displeasure like the opinionated prince he is. He is free-fed dry food 24/7 and especially enjoys Elsey’s dry and Friskies dry. He gets a small can of wet food twice a day, preferring shreds (not bites or fillets) and select pâtés. Mealtime is sacred to him, and he expects timely service. His water bowl must remain clean and full or he will file a loud, dramatic “formal complaint.” His beloved blue feather wand toy and favorite black crate mat/bed will accompany him to his new home to ensure a smooth royal transition. Mouse must be the only cat in the home - he has no interest in sharing his throne. He is extremely territorial with other cats and will growl, hiss, meow loudly, swat, leap toward, or even outright fight if another cat enters his space. He may also spray if another cat is present, so a cat-free household is essential. Dogs are generally not his preference, but with an extremely slow introduction and a very calm, respectful dog, coexistence may be possibl provided they acknowledge his royal status. He may do well with older children who understand boundaries and approach with gentle respect. Birds are not recommended due to his playful obsession with anything feathered. If you're looking for a fabulously dramatic, affectionate, talkative companion who will bond deeply with his person and rule your home with charm, commentary, and loyal companionship, Mouse is ready to claim your heart and your couch. He is tested, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. His birth date is 9/28/2017 and his adoption fee is $500.
