Tom Cat aka Apollo

Apollo: Churu licking, cat and people loving vocal and purry, playful pet bedaholic<br/><br/>Believe it or not, I've spent a couple years as a feral, hanging out at a cat station that had food daily in Leominster, MA. I tried to make friends outside, but there was one other kitty who was a jerk. He would beat me up. He was an owned cat who kept running away and coming to my colony. Finally, the owners of the property that the colony was at said they were done with me getting beat up so I got trapped. I finally came inside the house where I was feeding, this lap of luxury place where my foster feeds me all the time and gives me these lickie sticks called Churus. And there is even another cat here that used to be outside with me. He looks like he gained some weight but I try not to judge.<br/><br/>He and I actually get along pretty good. I am definitely more of a happy aggressor to play with him, but he does not seem to mind, and my human redirects me when needed because sometimes I get so excited to play that I can be a bit much; we have so much fun together! Although my foster mom thinks it will get better once I have more space to play!<br/><br/>Now I enjoy the finer things, like catching up on sleep; I love making pudding in my bed! After just a few days inside I realized all I have to do is act cute and I get all the attention. I am genius!<br/><br/>I have this cute little tilt of my ear and although outside I had this sour puss on my face, I started to smile. At least on the inside. I still look like a mean cat with my ear, but I am totally not! I am such a sweetheart, just with this little ear deformity that gives me a bad rap.<br/><br/>I have become a people kitty. My favorite thing is being pet. Of course, I am a come to you type. So, I will come to you when I want pet time. If you stop playing with me, I may occasionally give you a little love chomp asking for more. I can get overstimulated by all the love and have lashed out in the past; however, I have made HUGE improvements and continue to learn how to enjoy all the love. If you walk away from me, I am very vocal and will let you know I want you to come back for more one-on-one time. My foster finds me adorable.<br/><br/>I also have all these toys around. They're nice. I play with them. They're amusing.<br/><br/>I love chasing things, so my favorite things are the laser and the feathers! Also, I am a fan of those kicker toys that I can really kick the crap out of!<br/><br/>I also prefer not to be snuck up on, FYI. And although I am mostly adjusted to being loved, I can get overstimulated at times it is just so exciting having friends! Once you learn what gets me overstimulated and you avoid it, I become quite adapted and a perfect kitty!<br/><br/>So, I will be coming with an entourage of stuff. My human got me all this great stuff I love, like the kitty tower, beds, toys and she told me I can keep them. So I hope you have room!<br/><br/>Also to note, I am a fan of that pine litter, the pellet stuff. I am happy to use other litter, just fyi.<br/><br/>The best way to my heart is through my stomach. I love Churu sticks straight from the tube! I eat my Friskies 1/2.can in the AM and another in the PM.<br/><br/>My favorite things are: getting pets from my humans, those Churu sticks, lounging in my beds, chasing my toys, cardboard scratchers, and looking/sniffing out the window! (While I miss the excitement of outside, I love the comfort and love of indoor life)<br/><br/>My ideal home would be a quieter home, as loud human noises can be spooky! Toddlers and squeaky kids and dogs are a bit much for me because they are rather loud. My current humans do work full-time and I don't mind, as long as you come home and give me lots of love (and food)! I know, you can't believe I was once a feral, right? I need someone who understands that I might need space on occasion. I find the company of kitties very nice. But, I really need a kitty who also plays kind of rough like me and is not a laid back type of kitty because I may dominate him or her. A kitty who is my equal with a lot of play time with me would be so great! But I also wouldn't mind being an only kitty as long as I get playtime! They say I play like a 2 year old and have some energy!<br/><br/>Fitchburg Friends of Felines facilitates a foster to adopt program that places the intended adoptee with the potential adoptive family.
