About Little Boy

Meet Little Boy! This gentle six-year-old Domestic Long Hair captures hearts with his affectionate spirit and handsome black coat. Weighing in at 12 pounds, he thrives on attention, always eager to be part of the daily routine. Little Boy enjoys following his people around, engaging in lively conversations, and settling in for cozy moments together. Firm petting, playful tussles, and a good rump pat are some of his favorite things. When he has had enough, he politely communicates this by gently pushing your hand away or even pulling your arm back if you're too quick to stop. Social and playful, Little Boy has a soft spot for food-shaped catnip toys and playful chasing games. He confidently joins mealtime like an honored guest, showcasing his friendly demeanor to visitors. Little Boy is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. While he excels in certain areas, he does require special attention around his litter box habits. He consistently uses his boxes for bowel movements but prefers a standing position for urination, and he has a history of spraying when stressed. Therefore, a calm, stable environment with two large litter boxes is essential for his well-being. He must be the only pet at home, as he struggles to coexist with cats or dogs. A pet parent who can be home often, such as someone working from home or retired, would be ideal for this people-loving boy. Could he be your new favorite companion, table guest, or brushing buddy?
