Mordecai - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in La Grange, Kentucky

Meet Mordecai

I suppose I should introduce myself.

My name is Mordecai, but everyone calls me Cai.

I'm not exactly the sort of cat who runs into a room and immediately demands everyone's attention, unlike my brother, Mongo. I like to watch. I like to see what's going on before diving in like crazy.

When I first came to HSOC, I was sick and pretty scared. Everything was unfamiliar, and I wasn't entirely sure what to make of all these humans who kept checking on me.

But they took care of me.

They gave me time.

And eventually, I started feeling better.

That's when I discovered something very important:

**I really like being loved.**

I love pets.

I love snuggling.

And, I have quite a lot to say.

I am a talkative boy.

I'll meow to say hello. I'll meow when I want attention. I'll meow when I have an important observation to make.

Sometimes I just meow because I feel that the conversation has gone suspiciously quiet.

I don't expect you to understand everything I say.

I just expect you to listen.

I'm still a little shy at first, especially when I'm meeting someone new. I may need a little time before I decide that you're trustworthy. But once I do?

I'll come looking for you.

I'll curl up beside you.

I'll happily accept all the pets you're willing to give me.

And I'll probably tell you all about my day.

I've also learned that I really like other cats.

Actually, I like them quite a lot.

So there's one thing I'm looking for in my Forever Family: I need another cat.

I want a feline friend to share my home with. Someone I can get to know, play with, nap beside, and maybe occasionally bother when I feel like having a conversation and they don't.

I think every cat deserves a place where they can finally feel safe.

A place where they can take their time, stretch out, ask for pets, and know that someone will always be there.

I'd really like that.

If you're looking for a sweet, snuggly, slightly shy boy who will eventually become your personal conversationalist and professional cuddle companion...

Well.

I think we should meet.

I'll be waiting.
