WHISKERS is a male-neutered short hair silver/grey cat, born about February 2022. He was adopted "from a breeder" August 2022. Per his prior owner: "He's playful, active, & curious. He's cautious when meeting new people, & initially hides. He warms up to people with time, and becomes attached." He was relinquished by his owner to YAPS February 2026 because "My older cat has been aggressive towards him since I adopted him, and it's steadily getting worse. I can't give him an environment where he feels safe." We find him to be: gentle & affectionate, but stressed from his move. He may or may not come to you for affection from his resting place. If he comes to you, he rubs against your legs, and may follow you around. He loves being petted - often nuzzles you and rolls over for stomach rubs in appreciation. He accepts being held in your lap/arms for short periods, & gets along well with other cats. When adopted he'll need to be initially placed in a "safe room", to gradually adjust to his new surroundings.
