Norman STA013090

Meet Norman, a strikingly handsome feline who is not just a treat for the eyes but also a loving companion full of charm. With a preference for the ladies, Norman knows how to make a special connection. That said, he is still quite friendly with men, making him a versatile addition to any home that appreciates a touch of feline elegance.

Norman is affectionate and playful, always ready for a game or a cuddle. There's no place he'd rather be than curled up on your lap, purring contentedly. While he is a curious cat by nature, he prefers a peaceful environment without loud noises or unexpected disturbances, making him perfect for homes without young children.

One of Norman's delightful traits is his fondness for a good meal. He won't hesitate to show interest in your food as much as his own. Norman's laid-back attitude means he's willing to share his space with a friendly and calm canine.

Norman is FIV+ so must be indoor only for his safety and the safety of other felines in the area.

From his Foster Home -
Norman is a very sweet and affectionate boy, very clingy and is a super snuggler. His new family will need to be willing to give him a lot of attention. In the foster home Norman quickly became very attached to the primary carer (a female) and rarely left her side, indicating a level of insecurity and lack of confidence. He enjoyed pats and contact with the male in the household but would always gravitate to the female at every opportunity, lying next to and on top of her, and would frequently rub his face on hers, all whilst purring and kneading away.

Norman has been very easy to handle in the foster home. Good with being picked up and loves pats. Was also very good when having his nails trimmed and being brushed. He is very food obsessed. He will stick his face and paws in your plates of food at every opportunity. In foster he learned to eat from basic food enrichment toys such as Licki Mats, kitty Kong, and toilet roll tubes with one end closed and one end open. He will benefit from being introduced to other food puzzle toys to eat his daily meals out of, starting off easy to avoid him giving up from frustration, then building up the difficulty over time. He may also benefit from crate training so that he can relax in there with a licki mat(for example) when the family is having dinner so that he doesn’t try to steal food from their plates. Norman will also benefit from his new owner doing tricks training with him.
