Bombo

Bombo is a cat of few words or, in his case, meows. However, what he lacks in conversation, he makes up for with affection. He not only loves people, but enjoys their reciprocating with lots of pets and kisses. Bombo is accustomed to living indoors with adults and teenagers, and got along well with his canine companion. He hasn't lived with other cats. Bombo is great to have around when company calls because he'll serve as your official greeter, looking for pets. When it comes to play time, Bombo loves crackly things and was delighted when the supermarkets went green and now there are paper bags galore. Crackling is music to his ears. But near and dear to his heart is that time-tested favorite, the string. That being said, he is a self-proclaimed couch potato and likes to clock serious time in the z-z-z-z zone. Bombo tends to be a one-person cat, so he may very well pick a special someone to hang out with. Right now, he's trying to come to terms with the change in his life, as his person became ill and could no longer care for him. But give him a little time and if you have kisses to spare, save them for Bombo. Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home.
