About Steve - Located in Melbourne
Steve is a curious and playful snuggler! He attaches to people quickly and will follow you around wanting to know what you’re doing. He’s always happy to help, even if helping really means being super close to whatever you’re doing and walking on everything! He is more than willing to be a co-conspirator in playing, especially if that involves chasing a mouse on a stick. Steve’s always up for chasing anything and loves to play but when he’s tired he just wants to snuggle next to you on the couch. He loves his toys and likes to pick them up in his mouth and move them about the house. More than one morning I’ve awoken (startled!) to find some fake furry mouse that he’s put on the bed.
He’s talkative and confident and loves people. He will come when you call and greet you at the door. He makes a unique melodic twittering/humming noise to let you know he’s around and to say hello. He’s happy alone but loves to be around people and interact. He also loves to watch birds at the window. His current favorite spot is on the lounge in the sun where he can sit next to you and watch the birds. He loves to be patted and brushed and is very content to just be next to you.
Steve’s smart and inquisitive. I use feeding puzzles to keep his brain engaged and he has figured out every one faster than any other foster cat I have ever had. It’s been hard to come up with more difficult puzzles that he can’t get the first time!
He’s a lively, energetic ball of muscle and brings a happy-go-lucky energy to the room. For all that energy, he’s also pretty chill and nothing much gets to him (although he doesn’t particularly like the vacuum and will go to another room). He doesn’t mind being picked up so he’s good for a cuddle and a chat at the end of a hard day. He can be very assertive in getting what he wants so tends to head butt your hand if it’s close and he wants a pat. He likes to come up and rub faces quite a bit. He loves scratches under the chin and head rubs in general.
No problems with the litterbox and he may like other cats but he definitely needs to be the one in charge. He loves his food so he’s easy to train. He eats a special diet because he has the beginnings of renal disease but he’s doing great on the diet. He’s a wonderful, low maintenance (though energetic) companion and will reward his new owner with fun-filled, easy and playful companionship. He’s really sweet with a great personality and a very amusing co-habitant. If you’re happy to have him in the bedroom while you’re sleeping, he prefers to sleep at your feet, or even better is to share your pillow.
He’s chipped, desexed and ready to find his forever home! He’s really a very lovely boy and deserves a wonderful home where his easy companionship and playful personality will be appreciated.
