My name is Mookie, possibly named for the professional baseball player, Mookie Betts. I can hit a ball with my paw and send it across the room. I am a ten-year-old brown tabby male with the most handsome white butterfly moustache and goatee that you have ever seen – very distinguished, if I say so myself. I was living with an older lady who thought her family would take care of me if necessary but that didn’t work out. Now I am looking for my “forever” home with you.
I love having my chin scratched, my cheeks rubbed, my head and body stroked. You should hear me purr while you are petting me! Even though I am very reserved when moving into a new place and meeting new people, I can be enticed out of my hiding place to interact with you in our petting game.
I also like catnip toys especially the catnip banana that I will chew on and kick with my back feet. Mouse toys are fun too. I prefer to be comfortable in one room before I move on to the next one, eventually wandering the whole house - so it will take a little time for me to get settled. I will sleep on the bed with you – after a good chin scratching session or three. I’m thinking I would like a quiet home with adults. Little ones make me nervous. If you have a sunny windowsill where I can sunbathe and watch the birds and squirrels, that’s even better!
Please come and meet me. Maybe we can play ball together!
