WICC Pet of The Week

WICC Pet of The Week

Winston is a white and tabby cat, approximately a year old. He pretends to be independent but as you can see from the picture he really just wants chin scratches from all of his friends. He still has some of the playfulness and curiosity of a kitten, but is  already old enough to have lovely house manners. He loves to greet people at the door and always likes to supervise activities in the cat condo. He also enjoys playing with toys and watching the birds out the window. He may be a bit bossy with other cats, so might do best as the only cat in the home. Because he initially wants to observe people before soliciting attention, a home with adults only or families with older children is preferred.
