Please keep in mind there are many reasons why a cat may be uncomfortable with this type of handling. We recommend any future home with children be counseled in respecting the cat’s space and for the family to use care when picking him up, especially while he is still adjusting to his new home.

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:  Binks interacts with the observer and appreciates attention, but may be uncomfortable with pick ups. He may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
