Hello, we adopted a 3 year old neutered boy about 3 weeks ago.  His
name is Freckles (all white with orange spots, medium soft fur and a
big fluffy tail).  He reminded me so much of Tycho, who we lost
recently at 19.5.

I hate to brag, but I will!  This may be the ideal cat.  I joke with DH
that Freckles is going to host a seminar to teach other indoor cats
proper behavior!

He immediately used the corrugated cardboard scratchy pads.  We
isolated him from Ginger, our resident lady cat (12).  When he met her,
he respected her girly hissing, and never raised a paw to her.  4 days
later, she tolerated him, no issues, no more hissing.  He is making
polite attempts to play with her.

He plays with you on demand.  He sleeps cuddled up to me.  He follows
me like a puppy.  He eats what he is given with no finnickiness.  He
uses his litter and covers his poo.  He doesnt claw the furniture or
carpet.  He is the IDEAL cat!!!!!
