Meet Rufus


Rufus is an American Shorthair adopted from the ASCPA of New York City. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California. He is approximately 2 years old.

Rufus is curious and friendly, especially with the ladies. When he was first adopted, he was not classified as a lap cat. Over time, he has morphed into a bona fide lap cat. He enjoys chasing balls and bell toys. Dogs love Rufus but Rufus is terrified of almost all four legged animals, other cats included. In fact, he doesn't take well to stuffed animals either.


Some of Rufus' quirks ...

- He loves to chew on drum sticks. (Not chicken, the sticks with which you beat a drum.)
- He rarely meows.
- He likes to dip his paw in his water bowl before he takes a sip.
- The tip of his left ear is missing. (We now know that's because he's been neutered!)
- He understands when asked if he is hungry for dinner.
- There isn't a cardboard box on Earth he does not like to sit/sleep in.
- When he purrs, his left eye gets a little lazy.
- He possesses a deep fascination with chair and table legs. He bats at them often.

Please note anything and everything written is the opinion of Rufus. He is not a veterinarian of any sort so please use your discretion when trying products. When in doubt, definitely consult your vet. Thanks and mew!

  1. He looks absolutely stunning. We'd love to meet him - we're sure he wouldn't be afraid of us. We're adorable!

    We've heard that the ear thing is done to stray cats in the US when they're neutered. Maybe that's what happened?
