Hello, Charlie kitty in New Jersey! Happy Cat of the Day!When I walked into the office, there was Charlie walking around. He didn't run and hide and let me approach him. He let me pet him right away. He is the kind of cat that flops on the ground when you pet him. Pet, pet, flop and repeat.
Well, I was smitten. Charlie is a big boy with big feet, a black nose and black jelly bean paw pads. And very sharp claws! There is no picking him up because he slips out of your hands like an otter. He LOVES to be brushed which I also enjoy because most of my previous cats hated it. This chubby boy can't get enough!
I had another black and white boy called Howie. In the beginning with Charlie, I would be freaked out every now and then because I would think it was Howie for a split second. One weird thing is that Charlie does not purr. I can feel a tiny vibration going on in his throat and a tiny trilling noise that seems to come from his nose but that's about it. A few times I have put my ear close to his throat to try to hear the purr but he whacks me in the head with his paw. He has his boundaries, Charlie does. He will also start thumping his tail hard when he's had enough of my attention. That being said, I am allowed kiss his head as much as I want. Thank goodness for that because I do love to kiss his furry head a lot.
It's only been three weeks that we have been together but he seemed to have no trouble settling in. I'm so happy to be his human.
What a terrific going-home story your person has told! You met at Petco and your person had a vacation planned. After that, though- home you came!
What a handsome fellow you are! I like your soft black and white fur ... I would love to pet or brush you for as long as you like! I also like your cute face with your black nose, and your long tail! You love to be brushed and you accept lots of kisses on your head! You slip out of your person's hands when you are picked up, though. You make a tiny trilling noise as opposed to a purr... I bet that makes your person's heart happy!
How wonderful that you have brought so much love to your person, and that you are getting it back as well! Welcome Home, sweet Charlie!Happy Cat of the Day! I am sending you zillions of head kisses and brush strokes for your special day! (You could even whack me in the head with your paw if you wanted to
)
