Buttercup wants very much to be part of whatever his family is doing in the home! He does get underfoot so he will not do well with someone that is not steady on their feet. Buttercup is a very affectionate cat and you must be willing to let him sleep with you and spend time with you in every room that you are in :) 2 years Please watch is video Cats can live up to 20 years, you need to consider this when adopting and choosing the age of the cat you wish to adopt to give them a lifelong, stable home as you are making a commitment for the lifetime of the animal.
