About Licorice

Licorice is a young male Domestic Short Hair, born on December 14, 2025. With a sleek black coat, he weighs about 8 lbs. Adaptability suits Licorice well; after living outside last winter, he quickly adjusted to indoor life. Initially cautious, he soon transforms into a loving cuddle buddy, often hugging you with his paws as you pet him. He enjoys cozying up, rubbing his face against yours, and has a sweet, soft meow that he uses sparingly. Playful by nature, Licorice loves chasing round balls and stuffed mice, often dipping his toys in his water bowl before resuming play. He also enjoys sunbathing by the window and is quite fond of his big cat tree. Social and friendly, he gets along well with dogs, other cats, and children—though calmer, older kids are preferred.
