Fun-loving, Cuddly, Curious

Oh Mickey, youre so fine, youre so fine! You chase that twine! . . . or string. . . or ball toy! You get it: Hes super cute and likes to chase things that move.

Mickey may be what the internet lovingly refers to as a "standard issue cat", but this lovey boy will make your life at home anything but standard. To Mickey, you are the absolute GREATEST, and he wants to be with you as much as felinely possible. Walking from your room to the kitchen? Taking a trip to the restroom? Well, he wants to know what youre up to! Did you just come home? Mickey is at the door ready to greet you with leg rubs and hopes you will return the greeting with pets. When its time to relax after a long day, Mickey is down for a little snuggle time with his best bud, you! He sometimes likes to bite his humans hands if he gets overstimulated when being pet, but trust this little dude does not have a malicious bone in his body! He certainly does want to be pet and lets you know as much with cute mews. 

Mickey, like a lot of us, gets excited about food! He makes food time extra adorable with his little mews... and then he SCARFS his food. Fellow food lovers understand the desire - however its important to monitor how much he eats because he may toss it all up. It could be a good idea to look into methods that help him slow down how quickly he eats. There are many fun, enriching options out there. 

We havent seen Mickey interact with other animals, but he is such a friendly guy that with a metered introduction, he seems like the type to get along well with others. But we do know for sure that as long as you like attention from Mickey and your place has lots of cozy sleeping spots, Mickey is going to just love being with you.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
