And he has 6 toes? Or at least BIG feet.

Dave is an excellent cat name

Awww my boy gets overstimulated and will redirect with a bite. We have figured out how to read his language and he almost never bites because it's clear when he's getting overstimulated!

Cats possess an unparalleled emotional connection with their owners and work to draw out negative energy from you all the time.

Those ol’ cow cats are mighty affectionate, get used to it!

Dave is adorable. I'll bet the transition to nipping will decrease over time. The adoption agency I got Eleanor from almost a decade ago mentioned that she was shy but very sweet and did bite on occasion. It turned out her lite chomps were/are nothing more than a prelude to her cleaning my hand.

She really, really, really needed to get found when she did. Oh, Dave.

I think she understands that she's not quite a member of the household yet and once she is, she'll chill out. Smart girl just needs to find her person/people and maybe wear a calming collar if she's still anxious

Dave sounds like a full heart in a complicated little body. Glad she has people learning her boundaries with care.

Dave is a sweet, darling babygirl and I hope she gets her forever home soon 🥹
@permanentrecord.bsky.social · May 26
What a sweetheart! I still would want to try to pick her up (I want to pick up a lot of animals I shouldn't 😩). I know you said no kids, but thoughts on older (and calmer) kids?

Wondering if she is having some pain in her belly?
Gabby · May 26
3 seconds in and I would already die for her 🥹

Some more things we are learning about Dave -Dave made a curious and non-threatening approach to another adult cat when she door-dashed into GenPop, no hissing or growling was had -Dave would do best with someone home a normal amount of time and no kids (due to her tendency to overstimulate & bite).

What a snuggler!

looks like Dave would be a tremendous work from home supervisor! attendance at her meetings would be perfect. 😍

Every time I see a cat online I turn into Ed McDunough from Raising Arizona when she sees Nathan Jr. for the first time. "I love him/her so much!" (crying)
