Nap Champion:
His favourite activity? Sleeping—preferably on you. If there’s a lap available, Thistle will find it. 💤🐱
Playful When It Counts:
While he loves his naps, he also enjoys bursts of playful energy, especially when it involves his siblings. 🎯🐾

A Cozy Environment:
A warm, relaxed home where he can nap, snuggle, and feel safe will suit him perfectly. 🌿
A Feline Friend (Preferred):
Having grown up with his siblings, Thistle would likely enjoy a home with another friendly cat to play and cuddle with. 🐈⬛💞
