I got Lux from a shelter in January this year to be a companion to my resident cat. We've loved having him with us because he's so sweet, playful, and funny. Our struggle is that he was an only cat at his previous home and he hasn't been able to learn how to treat our resident cat. I did the slow meeting and have tried several products that are supposed to help but the cats hate each other. He chases my cat and starts fights, so unfortunately I just can't keep him. He's incredible with humans, such a sweet kitty and I'm going to miss him so much. He's been gentle and sleeps with my elementary age kids, he likes to greet visitors, loves to chase a shoe string with anybody who will play with him. A total sweetheart with people!
