He allows interaction with family but does not always seek it. TomTom and the other cat in the home do not share space well and if they encounter each other may hiss and swat at one another. At this time the owner is having difficulty managing to keep them apart so they do not have negative interactions. TomTom is an indoor cat who uses a closed litter box with clay litter. TomTom has not been bathed and not had nails trimmed. He may squirm for being picked up but is not defensive and will not try to scratch. He is reported to be good for handling on his vet visits. He may complain for a car ride with meowing. TomTom enjoys string toys and has a vertical sratching post with cardboard and rug which he uses. When owner is home he likes to be where he is.
