He enjoys bursts of play but is equally content to relax and simply be near his people. His curiosity leads him to explore new environments, and food is a surefire way to his heart. While he doesn't relish being carried, Gonzo enjoys companionship and gets along well with other cats. He prefers not to roughhouse but wants another cat in the home, thriving when he has at least one feline buddy around. He also does fine with cat-savvy dogs that respect boundaries, and he's well suited to homes with children who are gentle and understand a cat's space. To keep Gonzo looking sharp and comfortable, regular brushing and grooming are essential as his coat grows out.
