About Astro
ASTRO š¾
Head of Feline Security (Rodent Division)
Hello. Iām Astro ā 6 years old, highly intelligent, and currently accepting applications for a position with purpose.
Letās get one thing straight⦠I am not a lap cat.
If thatās what youāre after, I respectfully suggest you keep scrolling.
Iām the sort of cat your grandma had ā the one who quietly kept the mice at bay, supervised the household, and maintained order without fuss or fanfare. A working cat, if you will.
Iāve been in care for over a year now, which is frankly a bit baffling given my skill set.
Iām a confident, independent gentleman who likes to know whatās what. I enjoy being around my people ā a warm, constant presence in the home ā but I prefer companionship on my terms. Once I know you, Iāll happily smooch and keep you company⦠just donāt expect me to drape myself over your lap like a tea towel.
I live comfortably with other cats and dogs, but full disclosure⦠I do like to be the boss. Someone has to be.
Now, letās talk looks.
Iām what youād call a very classy unit ā a tuxedo-coated domestic shorthair with whiskers that curl up like a perfectly styled moustache. I donāt just walk into a room⦠I make an entrance.
ā Independent but loyal
ā Excellent rodent control (seasonal contracts welcome)
ā Dog and cat tolerant
ā Low-maintenance affection style
What Iām looking for is a home that appreciates a cat with character, purpose, and a touch of old-school charm ā a place where I can do my job, be part of the household, and be respected for the fine specimen that I am.
If youāre after endless cuddles, Iām not your man.
If you want a capable, confident, slightly opinionated housemateā¦Well, letās talk.
