Oh I'm just kidding. Twinkie is not as annoyed as he looks!
But he sure looks annoyed!
Today for the first time, I let Twinkie out of his cage so I could get to know him better! My first impression is that he has a lot of energy! And that's not surprising as he is less then a year old. He's not BIG...he actually looks kind of like a mini-Walter!
Twinkie is very playful and had a blast chasing the wand toy around, exploring around the room but always coming back when I called him and waved the toy on the ground.
And after we played for ten minutes or so, he voluntarily hopped up into his open cage to indicate he was done! (Most cats don't do that and we have to chase them around or lure them back into their cages with Churus!)
So my new assessment of Twinkie is that while he looks "mad" he's probably not (always) and also isn't afraid to tell you what he's thinking! And judging by how he rubbed up against my legs now and then between complaining shows that he also has an affectionate side :)
I'd say Twink is a little cat with a big personality! A pizza with a well-done crust. An egg sandwich with extra pepper. A car with the high beams on most of the time. A shopping cart with a wonky wheel.
I think he's a cool, quirky little guy who someone will have a lot of fun with at home :)

**Twinkie, like all of our other cats, is indoor ONLY.
The average life span of an outdoor feral is two years. Outdoor cats are subject to these same elements and risk a distressing death.
Please speak with Kim, the shelter manager and the town's ACO, for more information regarding this.
