Critter Twitter:
I’m JD, but my foster hoomans call me little Prince. Maybe because I love being the centre of attention and tend to lay with my front paws crossed and my head held high, whether on the couch or in your arms. I am searching for a family who will give me lots of love and dote on me at my pleasure—meals and treats, playtime, brushing, pets; whatever I want, when and how I want it. In return, I’ll give you all the affection you could ask for from a feline (such as mornings in bed spent in your arms, after you feed me, of course) and purrs you can probably hear from here. #loveme
About my Behaviour:
My hoomans say I can be a little demanding at times. When I first went into Zoe’s care, I had some issues with aggression. However, I have been learning that there are other ways to communicate than using my teeth and claws. Now, I use my voice, my scratching post, and pawing at whatever makes noise to get your attention. I also have a very intense stare, and I hate being ignored. Once I have your attention, I’m pretty good at showing you what I want—different food for lunch, playtime, a trip outside with a harness and leash, etc. However, if you ignore me, I sometimes revert back to my old self and will use teeth and claws to get what I want. My foster family is working with me on this using positive reinforcement.
I also get a little territorial and put up extra boundaries when guests come over, especially men. Right now, my foster hoomans are asking guests not to pet me and to just give me space. It’s helping me learn that people will respect my boundaries.
How’s my Health?
I am fully vetted. I had some dental pain when I came into Zoe’s care, but some dental surgery fixed that right up. But as a result, I only eat wet food and soft treats. I’m also on a dose of gabapentin (twice a day) to help with anxiety. It is inexpensive and doesn't cost much a month at all (80% less than a cup of coffee a day).
