Stash is a small, delightful, sweet, and quirky cat! He is possibly one of the cuddliest cats that I have ever known and in true ‘cat fashion’ it is somewhat on his terms. Such as he doesn’t like to be picked up but when he is comfortable with you he will jump up onto a cozy lap as often as the opportunity arises, and he finds many opportunities! He is constantly rubbing against my leg and wants to share time together…seeking it out. When I sit in my comfy living room chair he is almost certain to come and jump up on my lap for a cuddle. He loves to be pet and even allows belly rubs…and he is very soft!!!!
He seems to have some apprehensions from his past. When he first arrived at my place he was being very shy and spent 3 days or so hiding under the bed. When he finally came out and realized that he was in a safe place he went quickly into being super cuddly. He is still a bit fearful of new people but warms up to guests after a few visits. He thrives in a calm, caring setting.
Stash is good at knowing boundaries and never goes onto the kitchen table, counters, etc. and is very sweet and gentle. He has lots of personality and at times does like to have his voice heard.
As I said he can be quirky and one of his interesting habits is to hide his toys. I am pretty sure that his name Stash might be related to this ‘stashing’ of toys. He does this throughout the week (under the piano) and then I retrieve them and we start all over again. He enjoys playing chase the ball but is a bit afraid of wand toys at this time.
More quirky stories…..Stash at times has the loveable ‘klutz’ tendencies of a kitten, such as rolling off of a lap when he gets so into the cuddling and rolling about that he loses track of spatial issues!
More quirky traits: Sometimes his fangs stick out which is quite cute and enduring and unintentional!
Stash would do best in a quiet home preferably without other pets and young children where he can be his best loving cat self.
Stash’s CCAR ID# is S24-131
