Mister Mimi came home with me last night. I was worried that some stranger of dubious character might purchase him and not give him the golden years he deserves, so he is now safely hanging out in our critter room.
He was taken to the shelter about two weeks ago, presumably because of allergies. They had him for 8 years, so it must have been quite a surprise. He's very handsome and in very good shape, especially considering his age. His previous owner said he was easy to handle, good with kids, curious and spent most of his time in his cage.
What I've learned is that he is quite sassy (but very gentle) and loves to explore outside his cage. He loves burrowing and scratching fabric (and carpet). He's a sweet guy, but gets overly excited with too much affection. Hopefully he'll be neutered soon, which should help with his amorous ways and also help with his litter box usage.
The photos so far are from our dedicated critter cuddler. I'll get some more soon!
He let Honey groom him a little.
I really can't say enough good things about this little guy.
