Reuben, Ruby, Pooh Bear. Ruby is a chill boy with huge copper eyes, a huge tail and huge ear tufts. He has a perpetual baby face and is the first to fall asleep at a slumber party😄. Reuben, like his siblings, has such a loving temperament. He loves his people, follows them and loves to be held and cradled like a baby. He will sleep in bed with you and purr you to sleep. At times, he will meow at your feet to be picked up and held. If you work from home, you can expect some interruptions and lap time. You can also expect a good amount of maintenance with this guy. He has a luxurious cottony coat, which will only get thicker with age and needs daily combing in order to avoid matting. Luckily, Reuben enjoys being combed with a long-tooth, stainless-steel comb. His eyes have some dark drainage that need daily wiping. Reuben is very good about eye wiping and having his nails trimmed.
Reuben and his siblings get a variety of canned wet food (rabbit/chicken/turkey) for breakfast and dinner, along with free choice dry kitten food. Reuben and his siblings are all masters at using the litter box using large, open boxes filled with low-dust and frangrance-free, clumping litter.
As with all his siblings, Ruby is not a dominant kitten and is very respectful to the resident cats. He has been raised with a small cat-friendly dog. He plays with people and with the other kittens from his litter. Once comfortable (and expect this to take a bit of time), he is going to require he be an integral part of the family.
Ruby loves a good game of rough and tumble play, thunderously chasing with his siblings up and down stairs and down halls, but he also loves to play on his own pushing springs and plastic rings across the floor. Kittens do best in pairs so his new home must have an age and energy appropriate feline companion. This would be another non-dominant, sweet kitty or two like himself. Or his new family might consider adopting one of his siblings. They all get along fantastic and really enjoy one another’s company. A cat savvy kid 12+ would be okay. A dog that would respect and ignore him would likely be fine with slow introductions. Being on the docile and timid side, Ruby would not thrive in a loud and busy household or with a child that would chase him.
