Button #cute-as-a-button Tuxedo & Domestic Short Hair Mix Houston, TX

PLAYS SO HARD WITH THE WAND TOY THAT SHE PANTS

DOB 9/1/20

Hey there, everyone! I earned my name Button because I'm "cute as a button." I'm a petite, affectionate, playful tuxedo gal with an adorable stripe down my nose. I love it so much when Foster Meowmy scratches my chin, cheeks, and ears that I turn on my purr motor and "make biscuits" to show my ecstasy. Sometimes I give her "sandpaper kisses" with my tongue, and on very special occasions I'll curl up next to her or in her lap for a nap.

I really enjoy all different kinds of cat toys, i.e. tower of balls, cat tunnel, catnip mice, and crinkle balls, but wand toys are my favorite because they let me show off my athletic prowess. I totally focus when I lunge and pounce as Foster Meowmy waves it over my head, and I can get so lost in the moment that I start panting to catch my breath.

In my quieter, low-key moments, I'll find a patch of sunshine on the window ledge so I can watch all the wildlife scamper, climb, or fly by me. I'm perfectly content to spend the day napping while Foster Meowmy's at work, and as soon as she returns, I run up to greet her by winding around her legs to plant my pheromones.

I was found as a "spicy" kitten in Foster Meowmy's neighbor's yard, and, because I was scared of people, I was released outside after I was spayed. I grew up among the neighborhood stray cats and was a faithful diner at the colony feeding station. However, over the next few years, I grew to trust my feeders/ caretakers. So when I was injured during a cat fight, I decided to come inside and allow Foster Meowmy to treat me in my recovery.

Once inside, I realized that the pampered indoor life has big advantages, i.e. brimming food and water bowls, temperature control, and safety from predators. I'd never enjoyed delicious treats, catnip, or wet food before! So I'm relieved to kiss the hardscrabble life good-bye and anticipate finding a loving forever home for this next phase of my life. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart. Incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a kitty like me who's past the mayhem of kittenhood. I'm much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break any of your treasured accessories.
