Fun Fact: “Louie is a very smart, funny sensitive cat. We call him Louie the lion. Louie has a distinct collar fuzzy neck and body just like a lion. He has a big purr and loves to suckle on his own fur coat. Louie is a caring soul, especially when I don’t feel well. He will lay on my head and my chest. He loves giving sqibbie lips! Sqibbies are when he rubs his face and mouth against you, as he’s marking you. And his lips squeak and feel rubbery. He’s a joy to have! And guard’s the house in protection of us. Our little lion. Please Adopt, Don’t Shop.”
