Meet my Cats: Jazz

If there is one word to describe Jazz, that would be attitude. You can tell by the photo above that this is a cat with plenty of it. He's the baby of the family, having joined us after the loss of my female cat, Precious.

I took Jazz in when a former co-worker needed to re-home him. She had adopted a dog and the two did not get along. She chose to keep the dog and find Jazz a new home. Knowing that I had recently lost my girl, she broached the idea and I agreed to meet him. I knew once I met him I was lost.  I had to take him home with me.

Jazz was not as happy to be in his new home. We had a rocky start since he wanted to be an only cat. However, as I kept explaining to him, Davey and Poppei were here first and he had to adjust or I would have to find him a new home.

I had to keep the cats separate for more than a month because relations were so tense. At one point, I gave Jazz to a neighbor because she wanted a cat. However, 2 days later, he was back with me. He decided to behave and adjust to his new environment.

Jazz is feisty, fun, very strong willed, and loves to play.  He's a social eater - he often demands that I sit and watch him eat.  Silly cat!  He hates being picked up and is not super affectionate, but likes to be near people.  However, if you try to pet or scratch him and he's not in the mood, beware!
