Jack is very affectionate but also likes having some solitude. He will rub heads with you, sit on your lap, and purr. He likes to play and takes any chance he gets to show off his belly (which he will allow you to pet!). He will gaze deep into your eyes and promises to keep all your secrets. While he's a lovebug with people, he can be aggressive towards other animals and so needs to be the only pet in the household. He does just fine with older children, but he may not enjoy kids who are too young to know when to give him space. Jack is currently on a topical anti-anxiety medication that costs about $35 / mo. He gets very stressed in new situations, and the medication helps him cope. Once he is settled in a home, he may be able to be weaned off. Nobody likes to go to the doctor, but Jack takes this seriously and requires sedation to get his annual exam and vaccines. He just wants a quiet life with his people all to himself and no interruptions! :)
