Introducing Leo!
Leo is a love bug who is currently being fostered in Oakland County, Mi. He enjoys snuggling and sleeping next to you. He never tires of pets and loves to talk to you. He loves to have his face close to yours during cuddle time. Once a routine is established, he sticks to it and he will let you know if you are off schedule on his feedings or bed time.
During his time with us we found that though he loves to scratch, it’s not on furniture. As long as he has a scratch pad that is horizontal he will go there all the time. He does scratch a lot so having several scratch pads will protect furniture. He has not scratched people while in our care. He will reach out to you for attention from time to time and you will feel that he has claws, but he hasn’t scratched.
Food is a driving force for him. He loves anything he can get. His foster family gives him three different food types and treats and he has no problem eating. This would make him very trainable as he is willing to jump up and his foster Mom has even gotten him to sit for a treat. He’s also very persistent, so leaving food out will surely mean he will get into it. Despite this, he does not exhibit any food aggression with people or other cats. When feeding with other cats, it seems as if he wants to eat their food and then eat his own after. So, if there is more than one cat in the house, supervised eating is recommended as he will eat it all.
Confidence is not a problem. At first he may be a bit leery, but he is quick to become comfortable. He will take the center of any room with his tail raised and is not afraid to venture out. He is fine with medium and small dogs. Large dogs scare him and he will hiss and warn. He will set his boundaries with hisses and swats. Once these boundaries are set, he is fine with other cats as well.
Through our veterinary testing, we have learned that Leo has tested positive for FIV or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Cats with FIV can live long, healthy and normal lives. In addition, contrary to many beliefs, cats who have carry the FIV virus can integrate into a household with other cats as long as none of the cats in the home are aggressive. This is because FIV is spread through deep puncture wounds that occur with bites and generally is not transmitted between cats from mutual grooming or sharing bowls or litter boxes. Please visit Cornell Feline Health Center's article on FIV for details concerning this virus at https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv
