Adopt a Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat)

“Ouch!  What happened?  Ow ow – my leg!” 

I was a little 4 month-old kitten, when something happened to break my hind leg.  Someone found me on the street, limping and a little dirty, and brought me to the city shelter.  They x-rayed my leg, and saw it was not a bad fracture, and that it could heal while I remained quiet in a cage for a few weeks.  “Are you kidding me? Hold still for weeks?” The PZF people came to take me to their place to heal.  Holding still was very hard, but my leg healed perfectly.  And now I’m making up for lost time being an active little guy, and I really love to play. What young guy doesn’t?

They noticed that the fur on the tip of my tail was all dried into a paintbrush shape, and worried that there was something wrong.  A bath revealed nothing of concern, and the fur dried fluffy and nice.   The next morning, my tail tip was a dried paintbrush again.  What was happening?  A clever volunteer watched me from afar, and discovered that I suck my tail like a thumb.  Someday I’ll outgrow that, but not yet!

A year has passed, and because I have a very confident personality, I tend to be overlooked for the cuddly kittens, and less active adults. I am really smart, and love challenges and to challenge the volunteers in return. Some of my favorite games are hiding in closets, on top of cabinets, and watching them search for me. I have begun learning to walk on a harness, and have lots of fun helping in the office, as I am determined to find out what makes the copier spit out papers. I am fine with the office dog. Well, I bully him a little because he is smaller than I am. I chat with other cats through the screen door of another room, but they need to come to me slowly in person, because I get a little nervous. I would be a lot of fun in a home, probably not with small children, as I wouldn’t be very patient with being held tightly or grabbed by surprise. I still suck my tail, but not very often, and I am the most fun trickster you will meet.
