Cabbage #brother-of-Lettuce - Tuxedo and Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

LIKES TO CUDDLE ON MEOWMY'S NECK OR CHEST

DOB 3/20/26

Hey there, everyone! I’m Cabbage, a big, friendly, outgoing, fluffy tuxedo guy who’s mostly gray on my back, face, and tail but mostly white on my tummy and legs. My favorite spots to nap are draped on Foster Meowmy’s neck or on top of her chest, but her lap will do just fine if being “up close and personal” blocks her view of the TV. I like to sleep at her feet in bed so I can wake her up to a symphony of my adoring purrs the next morning. I’m Meowmy’s little shadow who follows her from room to room around the house as she does her chores. I’m not demanding – I can entertain myself playing quietly with my toys -- but I just like to hang out close to her.

My brother Lettuce and I were born to a feral momma who lived in Foster Meowmy’s back yard. When we were just three weeks old, we came right up to Foster Meowmy to ask for her for some attention and cuddling. Knowing how unusual it is for kittens NOT to inherit the “fear gene” from an unsocialized momma cat, Foster Meowmy scooped us up and brought us to the safe haven of her home. I heard her tell someone, “They were just too friendly and adorable to be left outside!”

Lettuce and I assimilated easily into the family, which includes a sassy cat-friendly Chihuahua. We spend most of our time tumbling and pouncing, climbing and wrestling with each other, and then we collapse in a kitten puddle when we’re exhausted. We love to chase each other through the cat tunnel, bat at the tower of roller-balls, play soccer with catnip mice and crinkle balls, and flip like dolphins when Foster Meowmy waves the feather wand toy over our heads.

Now I’m ready to bring my perfect balance of easygoing companionship and kinetic kitten energy to entertain my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! Until I’m four months old, I really need another kitty in the house to keep me company. Who’s a better candidate than Lettuce? Although we’re available separately, we think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted together so we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.
