Mufasa #roly-poly-kitty Ragdoll & Domestic Long Hair Mix Houston, TX

TURBO CHARGES WHEN PLAYING WITH THE LASER

DOB 4/18/14

Hey there, everyone! I'm Mufasa, a big, handsome lynx-point Ragdoll mix fella with blue eyes and a long, bushy tail. I'm an even-tempered gentle giant who likes to "roly-poly," which means that I lie on my back and roll back and forth from side to side. Sometimes I even let my hooman rub my belly when I'm doing my "roly-poly" thing.

I have large, round, feather-tufted paws and am a perfect gent about keeping my claws retracted. When I get to playing too rough, I understand when my hooman says "ouch" and cool it. While I'm not a lap kitty per se, I love to be brushed and will sit beside my hooman to get brushed. Despite my giant size, I turbo-charge when I chase the laser light. When I'm alone, I may bellow out a loud yowl but stop when my hooman comes running to see what the matter is. Hey, I just want a little company and to know that I'm loved!

I like to lounge on the tallest spot on the cat tree, the bed, or a soft cushioned chair. I'm fascinated with playing with the water in my bowl, and I'm very food-motivated. Only problem is that I'm afraid that the other cats will eat my food, so I gobble it too quickly, and sure enough, up it comes.

I need a new home because my hooman mom, my bestie, recently died. She spent a lot of time with me, and I miss our one-on-one bonding sessions. I do get along with the now-combined mix of her daughter's multiple cats and my deceased mom's three other cats. However, I'd surely get a lot more of the hooman attention that I deserve if I were in a home with fewer pets to compete with my family's attention. My only health issue is that I need prescription urinary food as preventative maintenance for urinary crystals.

I hope that you'll arrange to meet me. True confessions, I'll probably be initially a little skittish with you as a stranger, but your patience is sure to win my heart once I feel like I can trust you. Just think how fun it'll be when one day we play "roly-poly" together!
