Tyrion ("Ty") is 6 years old and the definition of a cat's cat. He's standoffish at first, independent, opinionated, and absolutely convinced that most humans are beneath him - but if you become his person, prepare to be adored. Ty showers his favorite human with cuddles, aggressive kneading, loud purring, and the occasional paw pet directly on your face. He'll make you feel like the chosen one.
Ty is also a nervous, easily startled guy who takes time to adjust to changes. Even after he trusts you, he may still randomly spook himself and sprint away for no apparent reason - that's just part of his charm, so don't take it personally!
One of Tyrion's best features is his hilariously strange meow. He's very chatty, especially when begging for treats (which he absolutely loves). Fishy treats, Temptations, tube treats… he's not picky. But at 15 pounds, Ty would like us to mention that moderation is important, no matter what he tells you.
Tyrion would do best as an only pet. He gets stressed around high-energy animals, and stress can cause litter box issues. A very calm cat or low-energy dog might work in the right situation, but a quiet home where he can be king of the castle is ideal. If he is exposed to neighboring cats he can be territorial.
He's not particularly playful with people, but he'll occasionally entertain himself with toys (which will go home with him!) and he's surprisingly talented at hunting bugs and spiders. He also enjoys chasing his own tail from time to time.
Ty is currently eating a prescription urinary care diet due to previous urinary crystals, and his food will go with him to his new home.
With his silky-soft fur, goofy quirks, dramatic personality, and selective but deeply devoted affection, Tyrion is a wonderfully stereotypical cat: independent, stubborn, and completely worth the effort. Give him patience and understanding, and once you earn a place in his heart, he'll love you forever. Tyrion is indoor only and his rehoming fee is $100. He lives in Keizer with his owners.
