He has excellent litter box habits and gets along well with other cats. He does like to chat with you at times, especially when he is new to his environment. After he becomes familiar with it, he quiets down. It is not excessive at all, just lets you know he is there. Kuro's story - He was found outside in a feral colony in Laredo, Texas. The colony caretaker realized he was very friendly and not truly was not a feral kitty. She worked to earn his trust and contacted Maine Coon Rescue to see if we could bring him into the rescue. Kuro bears the scars of his life on the street, with a tattered left ear and scars on his right ear and missing a few teeth. These are cosmetic. None of this has affected his purrsonality. He is so sweet and loving. Kuro is a hefty boy. Once you gain his trust all he wants to do is be with you. He will head butt you to pet him and will make 'biscuits' on you to show you he loves you. Despite his size, he is very gentle, even with his other kitty brothers and sisters. He knows his name and will come out when you call him. He has a couple different voices, which are funny. First is his squeaky meowy. Second is his purr rumble. Third is just a plain purr. His foster Meowmy has not yet figured out what they mean - maybe you can decode them? They are funny to listen to and just add more to his sweet character. He LOVES to be brushed. He will just sit there or move around so you can brush him. He never tires of it. Kuro is FIV+.
