Mercury is a shy 8-month-old kitten with a personality that matches his speedy namesake! He's always on the move, curious about everything around him and quick to pounce on any toy or opportunity for play. His playful antics are sure to keep you entertained all day long.
While Mercury is energetic, he's also nervous and scared of new places and situations. He's very food motivated, so wet food is his favorite way to get comfortable and gain trust. When Mercury feels safe, he'll start to chirp in the mornings as a sweet greeting. Slow, gentle pets will also be appreciated once he's comfortable, but keep in mind that he can get overstimulated and may swat if he's had enough.
Mercury is still learning to trust and show affection, and he'll need plenty of time and patience to bloom into his true personality. But with the right care, he'll open up in time. When it's time for a break, Mercury loves cuddling up for some quiet time, purring contently while he rests.
