Largely, the purry head-bonker you really need to get off your chest

Got someone on your chest you need to get off? No? Then it's a<br/>sure thing you're not living with Largely, the undeniably overweight armful<br/>of loving tuxedo. Please read about him below and if you like what you<br/>read, send your answers to the questions listed below to<br/>philoctete@mailbug.com (please send them in the body of your email and not<br/>as an attachment - thanks!) and you will receive a prompt reply. Honestly!<br/>(He is still looking for a loving home if you are reading this post.)<br/><br/>He's a feline penguin you can't help loving back, especially (oof) when he<br/>does that very special thing of planting himself on your chest, with a paw<br/>on each side of your neck, gazing with admiration into your perhaps<br/>less-than-admirable face. That's the best place from which to give you his<br/>emphatic (but not too painful) head-butt, a sign of affection you will<br/>welcome except when you are trying to sleep (that s a point against him -<br/>his bedtime head-butting). He s so happy on your chest like that - it's a<br/>cozy moment you won't want to end.<br/><br/>More conventionally, perhaps, he will also sit on your lap and that's<br/>oh-so-comforting too - for both of you! Please note, though, that he is not<br/>a Velcro cat and sometimes he chooses to show his love for you by sitting<br/>at the bottom of your bed, his back turned towards you, or sitting on the<br/>back on a sofa you 're sitting on, just behind your head. He's not always<br/>right on top of you, but, given his avoirdupois, that's not always a bad<br/>thing. Some cats get a lot of comfort from being *near* you, from being in the same room as you, without necessarily needing to be touching (although, if they are like Largely, they like to make frequent brief purry head-bonk visits to your chest and face.)<br/><br/>I once read in a book that the author used to praise his wife by calling<br/>her a "cheerful little armful". Largely makes me thinks of that phrase -<br/>when you hug him and hold him close to you, he really fills your arms.<br/><br/>One thing you'll looove about him if you like to bond with your kitty (and sometimes secretly wish a cat would have amusing doggie behaviors) is that he loves to play fetch with you. He asks you again and again (like, he can do this 1 or 2 dozen times in a row) to throw his mousey or fishy toy so he can scamper after it and bring it back to you in his mouth, his tail held high, and proudly drop it in your lap or at your feet. Besides that game (which he loves), Largely likes swatting around at a fabric wand toy, but in general his person/physical trainer is going to have a challenge keeping him active, because his nature is to be sedate (except for taking ineffectual runs and leaps at a window screen when a bird flits outside it) and he'd rather sit around than run around. His extra weight is probably somewhat uncomfortable for him. He has a gentle, almost babyish me(o)w he primarily uses when seeking reassurance from you.<br/><br/>This kitty (four years of age as of Autumn 2026) is fastidious about his<br/>litterbox (but he'll forgive you if you don't clean it out for a few days). I don't know whether you'll consider it a positive or a negative thing about him, but as soon as he sees you are scooping out litter from his litterbox or sweeping up around it, he'll come and "help" you, rubbing up against your butt, meowing for attention, and bonking his head into your arm. Never fails!<br/><br/>Laregely is not destructive, unless you have a wonky heating vent (he lives to pick off insecure vent grates and crawl behind them). He can be messy when covering up his litterbox deposits or trying to cover up food he is critical of. The most important drawback to be aware of is that, being self-conscious and lacking confidence, he can feel very intimidated by certain other kitties (he's not just being an aggressive jerk - he feels vulnerable), but not others. He'll be very companionable and chill with some kitties, and still other cats he will growl or even swat at. I am afraid I can't predict, if you already have a feline residing in your home, whether he'll be that kitty's pal & ally, his/her victim or his/her bully.<br/><br/>Additionally, he'll be shy in a new environment at first - not up-the-walls<br/>skittish, but definitely hide-under-the-bed in a sort of gentle, friendly,<br/>coaxable way. A person looking to bond immediately would, I think, be<br/>disappointed; he'll show his sweet side right away, but it may take as long as a week for him to stop hiding himself!<br/><br/>If you feel you could take a chance on a trial adoption, because you've<br/>decided that you need more big vibrating hugs in your life, please send in your answers to the questions below. If you sound like a great match, you'll be given references to check for Affectionate Adoptions and will be asked for a reference in return (vet reference or related to your employment/solvency).<br/>After that exchange, he comes right to your home! Thanks for your interest<br/>in him and for your time!
