Looking for a good home for a cat

[knowthyself.livejournal.com]

Hello Davis Squarians,

My boyfriend and I recently moved in together (yay!), but I am horribly allergic to his adorable cat (boo!), so we need to find the cuddly guy a good home. He's in a temporary home right now, but alas it cannot be a permanent one. Here's a little write-up about the cat, whose name is Maj, from his owner:

Maj is seven years old, a gray tabby, a little overweight, loves people and can get along with cats if introduced properly. He gets along with females better than males in my experience. He's very gentle, doesn't mind being picked up, and enjoys cuddling and interaction more than most cats. He's fixed, but isn't de-clawed, and I'm firmly against him being de-clawed.

He can get a little noisy when he wants attention, and alike all cats he has that urge to wake you for breakfast time. He's a wonderful cat, and I'm hoping to give him a wonderful home.

If you might be interested, please post a comment here or send me a PM with a little about yourself and your experience as a pet owner, etc, if you want more information. Thank you, and enjoy these cute pictures of Maj behind the cut!

this cat was also posted about yesterday, in DSLJ, here, with another pic for anyone interested:

Oh hey, so he was! By the temporary caretaker at that :) Sorry for the double-post about Maj, then, I'm obviously behind on my DSLJ posts.

If the mods would like me to remove this post, given that, let me know and I'll do so.

I'm fine with it myself - I had just noticed it because I had seen D trying for a home for him on facebook, so I remembered the cat. I can't take him, sadly, as I already have two cats who took forever to learn to live with each other.

I thought this was D's! I saw the same over there and thought how sad it was we couldn't take him. Out two hate all other felines, although they learned to tolerate Harry the Bastard whenever we sat for him. :(

Awww. He is lovely, and if my apartment and roommate allowed pets, I would take him in a heartbeat...mind you, if my apartment and roommate allowed pets, I would already have, like, three cats, so. :)

I'll keep an ear out for anyone I know who's looking to adopt!

IF ONLY PHATMIKE WAS OK WITH 3 CATS.

PHATMIKE SHOULD ADOPT THIS CAT.

Seriously. Phatmike would love Maj. He's like the feline Phatmike. Large, in charge, all the ladies love him, and cool as hell.

Unfortunately, we have two other male cats who don't even like each other half the time, and our house is starting to smell like A House With Cats, and I can't even keep up with them, two small disgusting children, a large husband, four chickens, and a dove

I'm just saying, people who are cats can take care of the birds for you. :)

But understandable. Too many cats and you risk both having A House That Smells Like Cat and an eventual feline revolution.

LOL, I think you're set for a while KT.

Unfortunately, we discovered (the hard way) that more than 2 cats triggers MY allergies at emergency levels, so unfortunately we can't take this beautiful boy in.

It's too bad, too, because we're both cat lovers (something they apparently pick up on quickly, as we were accosted by a long haired kitty on the bike path the other night who shamelessly manipulated us into spending several minutes petting him/her)

Hmmmm....

merana33 and I have been talking abut adding a second cat to our fur-family (we currently have a 4-year-old neutered male cat and a 12 1/2-yeasr-old neutered male dog). We'd been planning on getting a kitten, but maybe Maj is just who we're looking for. I'll talk to him about it when I get home tonight.

Re: Hmmmm....

[violet-helix.livejournal.com]

We are definitely interested in giving Maj a home. I sent you a PM last night with some info about me and my boyfriend. If you have any questions about us feel free to email me at violet(dot)helix(at)gmail(dot)com.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

BTW, if you're wondering why a Grafton resident is reading DSLJ, I moved from Highland Ave about a year ago and couldn't bring myself to leave this amazing community.

I did get the PM, thanks! Looking it over with my boyfriend currently. :)

Is he a good mouse killer?

[knowthyself.livejournal.com]

Uh...I have no idea. He's been an apartment cat for the last several years, so there haven't really been many mice to kill.

I don't think Dougie plays well with other cats.

Hi there! Just wanted to check and make sure that my PM about Maj went through, as our internet's been a little finicky post-hurricane. :-)

[knowthyself.livejournal.com]

It did, yes, thank you!
