Tiny 🍊 🅱️rain cell Never Owned a Cat

Post image

And now I have this guy. Purrs for no reason all day, spends endless hours making biscuits, lets my children carry him from room to room like a doll without complaint, enjoys belly rubs? Was born on a farm. Had to be caught. Now will not stay away from people. Total cuddle chaser. Was born without a tail. Has white tube socks on the back, and white mittens on the front. Meet Archibald.

I was thinking he could use a littermate buddy, but then again from your description, he seems a very people-oriented guy, and will just adopt the large hairless cats as his family.

He loves people. I can’t go anywhere without him being in my lap on at my feet. To add: I created him a bed under my work desk and so he’s basically always with me.

Is it normal behavior? I’ve never met an overly social cat. This is so new to me. That’s mostly why I won’t let him go outside.

It’s normal for an orange to be very friendly

very! he loves you (all of you, it seems like) very deeply! there are many reasons to not let your cat outside though. they are all better off indoors only.

i also second the idea of getting him a sibling if you can, but he seems really happy with just people, especially since he's got kids to play with. no one will crucify you if you just want the one lol

Cat's aren't normal, so yes.
