Collector, really. Sharer? Debatable. He also enjoys a thrilling hobby known as indoor parkour, where tables are less “furniture” and more “suggestions.” He’s currently working to understand that tabletops are not part of his personal obstacle course.<br/><br/>He takes his downtime very seriously—professional lap warmer, expert napper, and strong advocate for comfort at all times. That said, “alone time” and “quiet crate time” are still under negotiation.<br/><br/>Rocky is very food motivated and picks up on things quickly. He does have a stubborn streak... or maybe he just likes to question authority. Either way, he thrives with clear boundaries, consistent structure, and praise. Give him an inch and he will run the entire household like a tiny, fluffy CEO.<br/><br/>Rocky is looking for a home that will provide guidance, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement. In return, you’ll get a hilarious, affectionate, slightly mischievous companion who will absolutely keep life interesting!<br/><br/>Does Rocky sound like a perfect addition to your home?
