He has not been to the vet but has no known injuries or health problems. Socialization: Around strangers Romance is shy for a few minutes.

He lived with a 6 year old spayed female and with her he was very tolerant and somewhat rough at play. Behavior: Romance has never attempted to bite a person or animal. He isn’t bothered if his nails are trimmed, if he is held (however he will struggle if held too long), placed in a carrier or disturbed while sleeping. He enjoys having his coat brushed.
