Leo - Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Long Beach, California

Leo (male) of the Astro Kittens

Leo is confident, curious, and full of spirit! I liken him to both the brightness of the sun and a lion shaking its mane before plopping down and rolling over on their back. Leo is never without Luna, the two often curling up in their favorite hiding spot (my bathroom cabinet) or trailing their mother, Stria. He seeks them for love, comfort, and play. Upon entering my home (a new space), Leo was the first to warm up to me, a total stranger, in the span of a day. He often likes to sniff my toes, scoping out where I have been. Playtime is a riot for these two kittens. They like many of the same toys, but Leo gravitates toward wands and anything that moves by "parent-power" as well as fully interacting with his mother and sibling in playful banter. I do see a shift as he begins to discover smaller toys and enjoys those as well. Mom is so sweet and indulges him while his sister often tries to one-up his skill set, the two tussling and rolling over each other. He has taken to m wrestling with my shoes (while I'm wearing them) now as well which is quite adorable. Leo uses the litter and is working on solid foods as he naturally weans off his mother's milk. All three curl up together for bedtime, and while he's not keen on being held for extended periods of time, he will sit on my back and does not shy away from my touch should I need to pick him up. He is getting used to being loved on and learns how to accept and ask for love from his momma. Leo is undoubtedly going to grow into a stunning, beautiful boy with a gorgeous coat and a personality to match.
