About Mr. November

If your home could use a confident, self-directed cat who prefers feline companionship to continuous human attention, Mr. November is a unique fit. Left behind in a carrier one fall, he took his time learning to trust again, and the result is a reserved but endearing giant who thrives with other cats. At 15 pounds of solid muscle, he carries his tabby stripes like a badge of dignity. He’s a champion head-butter at mealtime and, true to form, will chat away when dinner approaches, conducting food rounds with his signature "call of the wild." You get a proper show if you have an organized kitchen; he’ll keep you honest about putting away leftovers since counter surfing is a favorite side hobby. Mr. November’s play style is short-lived—quick bursts of intensity, then back to regal observing. He takes to catnip kicker toys, showing off a playful predator side, but don’t expect marathon sessions. Socially, he’s deferential with alpha cats and won’t seek to dominate, making him a smart choice for a multi-cat household needing balance. With humans, his affection comes on his terms; he’ll accept head and neck pets after a gentle approach, but clearly signals when he’s had enough. He avoids using his nails on people or furniture and eagerly uses tall scratchers. He has an old leg injury that causes slight discomfort during exams, but doesn’t slow him down or impact his love for climbing. If you want a loyal, chatty companion for your current cat and don’t mind the occasional playful swat or counter patrol, Mr. November’s ready to bring his big heart into your home.
