Winter is looking for a mature home where he can settle in at his own pace. He’s lived with both cats and dogs, but will need slow, respectful introductions to new pets. Winter may need a time to adjust, but once he’s comfortable, he loves batting around string toys and having fun!
Overstimulated Cats:
Winter is a high-energy (overstimulated) cat. Overstimulated cats can often play rough, nip, scratch, and become over-the-top way too quickly and sometimes these behaviors happen because of too much petting or attention. Most of the time these cats are very friendly, affectionate, and love attention; however, they can strike out in a short amount of time. Learn to know when your cat is becoming overstimulated and stop petting them as soon as the behaviors begin. It is best to not encourage overstimulated behaviors so you can “teach” your cat how to accept attention appropriately. Use toys such as feather wands, balls, and toy mice to help distract your cat. Also have several interactive play sessions with him daily to help get his energy out!
