Pixy - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Curious, cuddly, and always first to investigate, Pixy is a confident little explorer who loves people, other cats, and being part of the action.

Of the three siblings, Pixy is definitely the boss. He is usually the first to explore a new place, investigate whatever you're doing, and climb onto your lap when he decides it's time to cuddle.
Pixy is endlessly curious. He loves wand toys, but really, almost anything can become entertainment. One of his favorite activities is somehow getting completely UNDER a blanket and wandering around underneath it. I still don't quite understand how he does it. He also loves sleeping in my 14-year-old dog's enormous bed, which looks especially ridiculous because Pixy takes up approximately 2% of it. Apparently he thinks it fits him perfectly.

He is also fascinated by my fish tank. He'll sit and watch the fish and, when given the opportunity, help himself to some aquarium water. So yes, Pixy has hobbies.

He loves his brother and sister and is usually right in the middle of whatever they are doing. He plays with them, grooms them and curls up with them, although sometimes his enthusiasm gets the better of him and he briefly forgets that food and toys are supposed to be shared.

With people, Pixy is confident and affectionate. In the evening he loves curling up on my chest or joining his siblings in one giant kitten pile on my lap, purring away and occasionally nibbling my jewelry.

He has grown up with my senior dog and is completely comfortable around her. They have a very peaceful mutual respect and even share food without drama. He also loves spending time with my 7-year-old daughter.

Pixy isn't especially talkative, but he is very attached to his little pack. If he accidentally finds himself separated from everyone, you will hear about it.

Pixy is about 3 months old, white and gray, healthy, neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines. He can be adopted separately from his siblings, but he is a very social little guy and should go to a home with another friendly cat or kitten.
