Hello, I'm Skipper

The woman I was in contact with at PAWS mentioned she was looking for the perfect home for him because he was so sweet, and I just want her to know I'm pretty sure he's found it!  

Skipper's Story

Words cannot express how amazing Skipper has been; it's honestly hard to believe it's only been two months.  Sweetheart doesn't begin to describe his temperament and not only is he an absolute cuddle-bug - his new move is to rub his nose and the side of his snout on my upper lip while clinging to my chest - but he's shown me a side of my other cat, Nyx, that I hadn't seen before.  I was running into some issues with Nyx being obviously bored - pulling at the carpet and scratching at walls - but now if they're not asleep or eating they're chasing each other around and playing.  I was worried at first because when I first introduced them as Nyx was swatting at Skipper through the crack in the door I had left them, but it turns out she was swatting at him to try to play.  My heart melted the first time she cuddled up next to him and started grooming.  I was very wary at first because they tend to tackle each-other and roll around and Nyx is a little vocal, but when they break off and they both go at it again it's so fun to watch. The woman I was in contact with at PAWS prior to picking him up mentioned she was looking for the perfect home for him because he was so sweet, and I just want her to know I'm pretty sure he's found it!
