Cat loves ‘forehead kisses’ — but has ‘beef with babies,’ Kansas shelter says
Not everyone is a fan of babies.
They can be loud, make noises, stuff just keeps coming out of them non-stop, and they can’t contribute to any intellectual insight about foreign affairs. Basically, they’re tiny creatures that reach for things they shouldn’t be reaching for.
At least, those are probably the random thoughts of a cat in a Kansas animal shelter.
Meet Rocky, a 2-year-old feline with a photogenic face and an unusual abhorrence for all things tiny humans. This little guy would rather hang upside down and flirt with cardiac arrest rather than come face-to-face with a baby.
OK, maybe it’s not that bad, but the Helping Hands Humane Society in Topeka is thankful that those fresh from the womb aren’t allowed to adopt pets.
“Rocky is that guy who: Insists on sharing your chair, even if there’s clearly no room,” the shelter said in a Sept. 26 Facebook post. “Demands forehead kisses like it’s a legal requirement.”
And…
“Has beef with babies.”
According to the shelter, Rocky’s cute face couldn’t save him from his former family surrendering him. They said he had the need to take out revenge on a baby existing in his presence by urinating on the baby’s stuff.
That’s one way to tell a human puppy to back off.
“Okay, sure, that’s a red flag. But if your home doesn’t have babies? He’s basically a walking green flag,” his pet profile says.
But, good news, folks.
“He hasn’t peed on any adult stuff while at HHHS,” the shelter confirmed.
“Babies can’t adopt cats anyway.”
Rocky has so many soft sides, that one dislike fades in the background. Like his adorable love for being held upside down on a daily basis. He’s vocal when he finds a person he adores. He even tolerates kittens.
“Rocky starts a little shy but turns into the ultimate clingy, camera-ready bestie once he knows you’re his person,” the shelter said.
