Meet Obi – A Social, Sun-Loving Senior Cat
Obi is an 11-year-old tabby who has been with our family since he was a rescued kitten less than a year. He’s up-to-date on his yearly vet visits and vaccinations, and he’s always kept his front claws. He enjoys lounging on the porch in the sunshine, watching the world go by, and even chasing the occasional fly. Obi also coexists peacefully with our dog.
Personality & Habits
Obi is a social cat who thrives on companionship and consistency. If we have the audacity to leave for a day trip somewhere without consulting him he will lash out with a puking or small well placed dropping of poop a single turd where I am likely to see his distaste for my departure.. This behavior developed after we had young children and wasnt a fan of some of their toys being left out of place.
He has a strong personality and, like many cats, enjoys scratching furniture despite our attempts with scratch posts, nail caps, and deterrents. Nothing past our couch does he enjoy for his scratching fun. Carpet and cheaper sofa's are not his taste. A family prepared to provide him with acceptable outlets for scratching, and who can accept this quirk, will find him a loyal and affectionate companion.
Why We’re Rehoming
With three children under the age of five and another baby on the way, we can no longer give Obi the calm, attentive environment he deserves. Recently, his accidents have created health concerns for our infants around their toys. This has been a very difficult decision, but we want Obi to have the best possible life in a home where he feels secure and loved.
Ideal Home for Obi
Someone who doesn’t travel often and enjoys having a cat around for company.
A calmer, child-free home or one with older kids.
A family who understands cats with strong personalities and can be patient with his habits.
A safe space where he can enjoy sunbathing on a porch or lounging in a warm spot indoors or outdoors.
