Smokey is an independent cat who prefers his affection on his own terms. He’s well past the unpredictable stage of a kitten but still has an endearing, youthful charm. Smokey enjoys spending time with people, especially when they respect his boundaries. Approaching him with patience helps build mutual trust, but sudden grabs or being carried around make him uncomfortable. He appreciates scratching posts and appropriate things to file his nails on, so you’ll want to have those handy. Playtime is still important for Smokey—interactive toys engage him, even if his sessions aren’t as long as they once were. Quality time together matters most to him.
