Rumble

My story

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Rumble is a sweet 3 year old neutered boy. Here is what his Foster Volunteer has to say about him! How would you describe the cat's general personality? - Rumble is a sweet and curious cat who loves being around people and almost never wants to be alone. He’ll happily let you pet him, snuggle up beside you, and explore every corner of your home. Does the cat enjoy being pet? - Yes! Rumble will let you pet him as much as you want, once he's comfortable with you (won't take long). If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? - He seems to like being pet on his head. Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? - He doesn't like it as much when you touch his paws or his stomach when he's laying on the ground. But he's never been violent and will still let you touch him there. He will just walk away from you if he doesn't like it. Does the cat come on your lap? - Rumble almost always does. If you're sitting, he will sit on your lap or the chair next to you. If you're on your bed, he'll want to lay next to you. He loves sitting on your leg, in between your legs, on your stomach, etc. Does the cat like to be held? - He doesn't like being held for that long. If you're sitting, you could hold him in your arms for longer. Does the cat sleep in your bed? - Occasionally. Rumble sleeps right next to you but will groom himself several times during the night. Because I wake up to that, I prefer having him sleep in the living room. Does the cat seek your attention? - Rumble loves attention and just being next to people. He sits next to me when I'm sitting on the couch, on the counter when I'm cooking in the kitchen, etc. If your door is closed and he knows you're in there, you might find him sitting in front of it.   Does the cat like to play? - Rumble likes to play with things that he can catch, scratch, and/or chew. You have to be pretty active with the toy as well to keep him engaged. He also likes the laser pointer. He also plays with toys by himself. What are the cat's favorite games and toys? - Rumble likes fishing pole toys, little balls, the toy with balls that roll around in a spiral   How vocal is the cat? - Rumble: cries if you won't open the door to your room (often in the morning) but only does this for a minute or two (not very loud) - Vader: comes to you and starts meowing at random points of the day for a couple of minutes - could either mean he's hungry or wants a treat or wants attention(?) (he is a bit louder than Rumble) What kinds of sounds does the cat make? - Meowing noises   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? - Yes. I have a pole-shaped scratcher and a cardboard one that's shaped like a mat. He uses the pole every day -- sometimes to stretch after sitting or laying for a while. The mat one was used for a day or two, and then I think he got bored of it. He really likes scratching and climbing at the same time If no, please explain. Does the cat always use the litter box? - Yes. He shares one with another cat. I've never had any issues with him using litter boxes. If no, please explain.   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? - He gets around 1/3 cup of dry food (Purina One Tender Selects) three to four times a day. Is the cat picky about food? - Not really. He likes the gravy of wet chunky foods and will eat some of that but he didn't like pate. What is the cat's favorite treat? - He loves Churu! He doesn't really like solid treats.   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? - No Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? - No. I've only been scratched when we were playing with a toy he was trying to catch. But this was an accident because I dropped the toy as he tried to grab it. Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? - No Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? - No   To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? - Rumble is very social so he will go up to new people. It takes him maybe 10 minutes to warm up to a new person.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? - Rumble is soooo curious. He will want to sniff and feel different textures. You can give him all the love and he will reciprocate it. Rumble has these golden yellow eyes and the cutest voice.   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? - Rumble is such a gentle cat. I've never had a cat let me pet them this much without hissing or running away. He will give you so much love. If you want a cat you can give and receive a lot of love, Rumble is the one for you!!   What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? - Rumble is very curious and likes to climb things. Sometimes I worry about him getting close to the stove or oven when I'm cooking but he seems to know he has to stay away when it's hot. He's a big scratcher so he has scratched my couch quite a bit. I think having other scratching poles in the house helps with that.
