Cats like Bobert are why felines are considered mysterious. He has sudden bursts of
energy between slow strolls around his territory, punctuated by lots of cuddles with other
cats. He has been a momma's boy from the very beginning, and often follows his momthrough her day. He didn't accept the resident cat until she initiated a game of hide-and-seek with him. Once he realized they could play the ambush game, he decided she was okay and they could be friends. When strangers visit, he stays in the room with the new person, but keeps his distance. He does take to cat-lovers who speak the special language of letting cats be the boss. At meal time, he takes a mouthful of food, growls in triumph, then walks to a separate space to eat. He also growls when chasing little puff ball toys or feathers, with a particularly loud growl/purr when he walks off with his trophy. He will rest on a bed with calm dogs, and will even approach calm and quiet dogs, but he still needs time to accept any dog coming toward him. He takes time to adjust to changes in his environment, and usually watches how other cats deal with new situations before he tries them.
I just joined my foster family and we are still getting acquainted with one another. Once they learn more about me, they will add more information here!
Bobort is from Houston, TX. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats' emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of "Single Kitten Syndrome" (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten's most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
