Midnight is a great senior citizen looking to spend his days lazily lounging in sunbeams and soft beds. This kitty is completely deaf and loves to talk real loud so you hear him. Midnight resides in our cat condos because despite his age, he can be extremely cat aggressive. He was previously adopted out to a family with 2 other kitties, but fighting between Midnight and their other kitty was getting worse and worse. They did send this great info along for those interested in Midnight:
-Since he's deaf, Midnight is much louder than most cats. We found this adorable but others may not. He also likes to sing late at night.
-He's fantastic about using his box but he also loves kicking out as much litter as he can. High walled boxes are a great option.
- He's not a massive fan of chin scratches or head scratches.
-He's a messy eater and drinker of water. A mat under his dishes and bowl helped take care of this.
-He loves to explore. He loves jumping on the kitchen counter and seeing what's in the sink. He'll get down when you make hand motions to do so but he'll also argue with you about it.
-He would really benefit being the only pet in a household. Could he co-exist with other cats? Obviously in our situation, he reached the point where he could not co-exist with one but was totally okay with the other. I don't know how much socialization he's had with cats previously and because he's deaf, he misses out on many cues from other cats.
-His first vet visit with us produced test results that said he had elevated creatinine levels. The second visit produced the same. The vet said that we could started him on a kidney focused diet but we did not get the chance to start, nor did the vet say we needed to immediately do it.
-He hates being brushed, so hairballs are harder to prevent. We got a grooming glove and he somewhat tolerated that.
Midnight is a great cat who would love to find his furever home and be the only cat. We have lots more great info about this kitty, just stop by and ask our amazing front desk staff about him! Come down and meet Midnight, you'll fall in love with him, too!
