Meet Skippyjon Jones

Skippy Skip Skip is a 1 year old ""big little baby"" who will skip all the way to your heart and find a place to warm his and your life. Skippyjon Jones isn't a lap cat, but he is oh so affectionate and would love to have a human being companion so that he can be their shadow. Skippy loves to keep his humans company and will curl up besides anyone who will allow it. Skippy loves to play with teaser toys and zoomies! Once you start to get to know him, you learn what his tell is when he wants to have zoomies and be chased around. Skippy is the underdog of all underdogs -- he can’t jump up the cat tree gracefully (38”) but he will clear a gate (52”) just fine!! He is your very own olympic pole vaulter, he can really do whatever HE wants to do, so don’t underestimate him. Skippy is still very much an awkward cat, you think he would have it figured out by now? Skippy still has to find his voice, he doesn’t quite know how to sound like a cat. When you look at his abundantly packed toe beans and his perfectly executed loaf you’d assume he screams at his humans to be fed. Absolutely not!! Although still very awkward at this cat thing, he is an absolute gentleman when it comes to eating! Preparing his food? He’s not even worried about that, he just wants belly rubs! Afraid you won’t be able to sleep in because he’ll demand food in the early morning? Never Skippyjon Jones! Skippy loves to graze, he won’t eat his food all in one sitting so he’s best to be free fed and will occasionally take to some wet food.Skippy lives with three humans and two resident cats in a house. Skippy does play a little rough (he hasn’t figured this cat thing out yet, so he also doesn’t know how to make friends just yet), so he would be best suited as an only cat/younger cat/a cat that will tolerate him and teach him boundaries. While Skippy gets along ok with the current resident cats, he has really come a long way. His orange buddy has taught him boundaries so Skippy knows when he has to back off and lay low. BUT it is clearly evident that the little guy would love a friend who will play with him. His play style, while not aggressive, does involve his teeth and claws. He is best suited with older responsible children who understand how to engage with him -- when he plays or when being pet, sometimes he will nip a little bit with his teeth in a playful manner, never strong enough to break the skin. Skippy is an ambassador for litter box usage, he takes it very seriously.If you are looking for a teddy bear to be your loyal companion and shadow -- Skippyjon Jones is the perfect match.
