How would you describe the cat's general personality?
Fallow is a very well tempered cat who loves enrichment through toys, food puzzles, and exploring my apartment, especially when I am home from work in the evenings! He sleeps and keeps himself content through out the day and would benefit from having an apartment or home to explore on his own terms!
Does the cat enjoy being pet?
Yes!
If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet?
Pretty much, everywhere! He doesn't offer up his stomach often, but has also never pawed or nibbled when touching it.
Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched?
Nope!
Does the cat come on your lap?
Yes, I am working on teaching him that pats on something mean come here and he's starting to get it!
Does the cat like to be held?
Yes, from people he is comfy with, and only really when being held tight to the chest. Doesn't like to wiggle in the air much.
Does the cat sleep in your bed?
No, he was a bit weirded out by beds at first but is starting to go on them when I am not looking.
Does the cat seek your attention?
Yes :) Usually for food if hungry or play if he is bored.
Does the cat like to play?
What are the cat's favorite games and toys?
He does! He likes scratchers a lot, he loves to play with a wand toy and hunt and jump around, he likes to chase, but not really fetch.
How vocal is the cat?
He is vocal if he is hungry, wants to get in or out of a room, not often but occasionally will meow if he is bored and wants to play (or maybe not - but if I had just fed him and he wasn't at the door - playing with the wand toy distracted him)
What kinds of sounds does the cat make?
Meows but kinda unique
Does the cat scratch a scratcher?
Yes
Does the cat always use the litter box?
Yes
What food and frequency is the cat currently eating?
Wet food ~3oz at Morning and Night (TikiCat/Sensitive Digestion) and Purina Pro Plan dry food throughout the day.
Is the cat picky about food?
No
What is the cat's favorite treat?
He likes Churu/any tube treats
Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances?
No
Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you?
No
Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you?
No
Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)?
No
To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful?
He is curious and seeks some attention but is skittish at quick movements, so does best when it's a calm environment for introducing folks.
If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on?
I have not. His rescuer tried introducing him to her cats and that went well, so we think he might be OK with other cats given a slow introduction.
Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren't covered by the previous questions?
He's got a funky meow. He really is into physical contact when it's being held close to your chest while standing, sitting, or laying down. He moves around his toys and other items (bed, bowl, etc) most nights so every time I wake up they are *slightly* shifted in the room and it's very funny to see the rearranging he did while I was asleep.
In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt?
He's a just a great well-rounded cat! He loves to cuddle for a bit, play for a bit, and have independent time! He has never been aggressive in any way, is fine being picked up, eats well, drinks his water, and hasn't made any big messes! I think he would do great in many kinds of homes.
What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them
He is a hungry boy and has relaxed a lot with a mostly regular feeding schedule and puzzle free feeding dry food all day. He likes to explore a lot so he would do best in an environments where he can explore. My roommates open their doors to let him in and sometimes he just sits in the doorway to be included in the fun.
