Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Rascal
Age: 11 (A fine vintage)
Coat: Designer Brown Tabby
Status: The One and Only
?Don’t let the "senior" label fool you—Rascal still has plenty of tricks up his fuzzy sleeves. He’s a sophisticated brown tabby with a heart of gold and a mischievous streak that proves age is just a number.
?The Stats:
?Independent Professional: Rascal is a total pro at being home alone. He’ll spend your 9-to-5 perfecting his nap game and guarding the house from the comfort of the sofa while you’re at work.
?The "Rascal" Requirement: When you get home, it’s game on! He’s looking for a partner who’s ready to fire up the laser pointer or toss some toys. He might be 11, but his "predator mode" is still 10/10.
?Expertise: Championship-level head-butts and knowing exactly where you hide the treats.
?Rascal’s House Rules:
?"I’m a solo act, and I like it that way."
?Adults Only: Rascal has a big personality and can be a bit "nippy" when he’s overstimulated or playing, so he needs a child-free home with experienced cat lovers who understand his boundaries.
?The Only Star: He’s not a fan of sharing the spotlight. No dogs and no other cats, please! He wants to be your one and only four-legged companion.

The Rascal Translator: A Guide to the Nip
?How to tell if he’s feeling "Rascal-y" or just relaxing.
??? The "All Clear" (Pet Away!)
?The Look: Slow blinks, eyes half-closed.
?The Tail: Still, or a very gentle, lazy wag.
?The Vibe: He’s leaning into your hand or purring like a motor.
?Action: Keep the chin scratches coming!
??? The "Warning Track" (Pause & Observe)
?The Look: Pupils starting to dilate (getting big and dark).
?The Tail: The tip is twitching or "thumping" against the floor.
?The Ears: Slightly turned out to the side (airplane ears).
?The Vibe: He stops purring suddenly or starts watching your hand intently.
?Action: Stop petting. This is his way of saying, "I’ve had enough for now, thanks."
??? The "Red Zone" (Don't Touch!)
?The Look: Wide, staring eyes; skin on his back might be "twitching."
?The Tail: Vigorous swishing or lashing back and forth.
?The Vibe: He’s "hunting" your hand or rolling onto his side to show claws/teeth.
?Action: Redirect to the laser! This is the perfect time to grab his favorite toy and let him burn off that "nippy" energy safely.
