Tamlin

THINK FAST: a tiny avalanche of fur is tumbling across the floor towards you. What do you do? That’s right, you ADOPT IT IMMEDIATELY because it is in fact Tamlin, the Harbinger of Floof, and he is VERY EXCITED about BASICALLY EVERYTHING you’re doing.<br/>Though he is currently in the kitten phase, he will someday grow up to be a slightly-less-small version of himself. His true size is hard to measure because his voluminous coat suggests a creature 50% larger than the scale does. His main method of transport resembles a parade float, hovering over the ground with his short little legs almost entirely obscured by his bounding, careening majesty. His front legs are slightly too short for the back ones, resulting in a gentle downward slope from his brushlike tail to his slightly-cross-eyed face.<br/>More than most cats, this boy is on the market for a playful friend and has the personality to make it happen. Tamlin hasn’t hissed or shown dominance during introductions, but once a positive connection is formed, he’s prepared to spend his waking hours wearing down the finish on your flooring running back and forth with his new playmate. He even establishes this level of enthusiasm with inanimate objects, which either suggests great self-sufficiency or the dismal state of education in the cat populace.<br/>Should your home be on his parade path, you’ll find that you don’t need to throw treats to attract his attention, a warm lap and cozy blanket is all this boy needs. <br/>Tamlin was born May 15, 2026.<br/><br/>If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Tamlin, please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com. Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there).
