*** SAFE 07/09/17 *** A volunteer writes: I can imagine Chichi running an empire. This cat has presence. Yes, he’s a big boy, but it’s the way he surveys the room, keeps an eye on everyone, and does things on his own terms that give him the aura of a true leader. Make no mistake, however: he may have the qualities of a CEO, but Chichi loves nothing more than a good snuggle. Adopt Chichi, and I figure he’s going to waste no time in making himself right at home with you. He’ll want to explore, but may take his time as he enjoys being lazy, too. And he’ll want to get to know you, but might want you to get to know — and pet — him first. This is a cat with a huge personality, and a face that will make you smile.
