***Horton has designated himself as baby sister’s protector and guide, so the two of them must go home together. Of course, if Herbie, their shy brother can come along too, that would make the little claw of mini panthers complete!

Horton took his responsibility as a big brother quite seriously. He was the brave leader who took the first cautious step towards interacting with the humans when they came bearing yummy gifts, and have convinced not only himself, but his sister Holiday too, that people are the sources of all good things such as Churus, wet food, toys, and best of all, lap cuddles!

Although he is cautious and shy at first, once Horton took the chance the engage with the people and received excellent feedback, his hesitation melted away.
This sweetest love bug became a pro at occupying laps in order to nuzzle in close for pets, and have convinced Holiday to do so too. He definitely has realized how good cuddles are and not shy to occupy one whenever it is free!

Horton also discovered the joy of play, and his fave toy is a tennis ball. Go big or go home is his motto! He is a connoisseur of fine catnip, and an occasional happy roll in them gives him a mood boost. Like his siblings, food and treats are surefire ways into his good books, and he has no problem with food bribes.

Horton is always looking out for his sister Holiday and making sure she is feeling safe and comfortable. The two of them make a cute big and little spoon pair, and are looking to cuddle together on their forever human’s lap as soon as possible. A little time, a lot of love, sprinkled with yummy treats, and they will be your best buddies for life.
