Three years old and the most gentle, affectionate little one I've ever met. Love him like mad already. Still haven't got a name, though

you know the cat's not going anywhere when they're grumpy about being woken up.

"hoooman. leave me alone. I've not napped in ages. I'm trying to catch up on them."

I would pay cash money to scratch that belly.

Oh, you would pay in blood if you tried

Funny enough, this guy loves belly rubs, even at the shelter! That's kind of why we brought him home, he just seemed extraordinarily affectionate. Got five belly rubs last night, each more wonderful than the last <3

Some cats just love it. I adopted a 2.5 year old cat from a shelter almost a year ago and he's also super gentle and affectionate and looooves belly rubs. My other cat likes it too but only allows it for about 10 seconds lol

no matter what their name is, or what you call them, I'm always happy to see a new adoption. congrats on your new boss.

The coloring on the back haunch looks like a hamburger patty, so I would go with "Burger".

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

He looks like a Dave.

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He looks just like my cat, who we named Snuggles. Snuggles turned out to be a complete (lovable) menace, who does not like to snuggle, and has very sharp claws and a very short fuse. So as yours is lovely, I recommend the name "Menace" for him to balance the universe.

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Awwww, that's adorable

[–] IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have one that breed and he is wonderful! Congrats!

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What breed is it? We've adopted a cat that looks almost identical and the vet lumped it under American Short Hair.

Return the slab

[–] namelessdread@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He looks so happy! My name suggestion is Rufus.
