Desmond is a total goof! He steals napkins off your lap when you sit down for a meal, climbs on your shoulders during dinner, and wants very much to participate in any kind of computer work you might be doing. He likes firm scratches, pets, and big hugs! You can see from the photos that he is a very "rubbery" kind of cat and can be caught sleeping in all kind of impossible positions. He is a high energy guy who likes to play hard. He will want to be with another cat who also likes to play hard or a cat who is very calm and confident and doesn't mind his endless antics. He loves other cats and will love on them even while being a nudge. He is deft at sneaking into a cat bed to cuddle with another cat we were convinced hated him. Despite getting the occasional scratch on his white nose from other cats he lives with (likely because he's not very good at taking a hint sometimes), he never actually harms anyone, even the very small foster kittens we have. Over the last year, he has started to mellow out and will likely continue to get better and better at responding to the social cues from other cats. Desmond would do best with a more experienced and/or patient human with at least a somewhat predictable schedule. He is very nervous when approached directly, very worried about being locked in a room where he will be "caught" by a human, and cannot be picked up at the convenience of the humans -- although, when he chooses to be with you, he loves to be squeezed and mauled!. He is cautious around new people but after a few days will trust them (which means getting on their laps and in their face!). He can sometimes be comically dramatic in his response to what he feels might be a threat -- he has some hilarious expressions! I promise, life with this odd-ball will never be boring!
