Notes from Azrael's Place NFP
Meet Buttercup!
Hey there! I'm Buttercup, and YES, I know - "Buttercup" sounds like a delicate little flower name. Plot twist: I am a LARGE and IN CHARGE orange and white boy who just happens to have been blessed with an adorable name. It's called CONTRAST, and I work it!
Let me tell you about my two greatest passions in life: EATING and CUDDLING. In that order. Actually, sometimes in reverse order. Sometimes simultaneously if you're eating snacks on the couch - that's peak living right there.
I'm what experts call "a substantial feline" and what I call "magnificently fluffy." I'm a big boy, and I'm not apologizing for it! When I cuddle, you KNOW you're being cuddled. None of this dainty perching - I'm talking full-body flop, maximum contact, possibly some gentle smothering (in a loving way). I'm like a weighted blanket that purrs!
About food - listen, I have OPINIONS. I get excited about meals. I get excited about snacks. I get excited about the IDEA of future meals. Some cats play it cool around food time. Not me! I believe in enthusiasm! I believe in showing up! I believe in letting you know that YES, IT'S TIME, and I'M READY!
My ideal day? Breakfast (important), morning cuddle session (essential), mid-morning snack (obviously), afternoon nap ON you (non-negotiable), early dinner (critical), evening cuddles (the best ones), bedtime snack (necessary), and sleeping in your bed taking up most of the space (sorry not sorry).
I'm looking for someone who wants a BIG love from a BIG boy who believes life is meant to be enjoyed with gusto - preferably with snacks and snuggles involved.
Ready for a Buttercup-sized amount of affection?
