It’s heartbreaking to hear about cats being abandoned or left behind, but it’s a reality that happens all too often. One cat who experienced this unfortunate fate is Brutus. We don’t know the full details of his story, but it’s clear that he was left to fend for himself. Thankfully, fate had other plans for Brutus, and in 2014, he was taken in by a loving human who provided him with a forever home.
Now around ten years old, Brutus is a one-of-a-kind cat with a personality that shines through in his photographs. He may spend his days doing whatever he pleases, but he also loves to pose for the camera. Once you lay eyes on Brutus, you’ll fall in love with his charming demeanor.
Brutus, the cute feline, labels himself on Instagram as a mouse assassin, food dish destroyer, and nap enthusiast. His owners saved him in 2014, and he intends to remain with them forever. I had the opportunity to chat with his caretaker about Brutus and pose some queries. And let’s be honest, who can resist that charming visage?
Can you share the story of how you and Brutus first crossed paths?
One day, Brutus found himself left behind by his previous owners who had moved away. He was dealing with a severe case of ear mites when a compassionate former neighbor brought him to AARF for medical attention and adoption. It was at an adoption fair that I stumbled upon him, drawn in by his unique name – which piqued my interest as a history enthusiast – and decided to take him home with me.
What kind of personality does Brutus possess?
As Brutus’ caregiver, or sometimes referred to as his “mom,” depending on his mood, I have come to learn that he is an affectionate and demanding feline. He craves attention and thrives on being petted and cuddled. He’s also a fantastic snuggle buddy and welcomes the company of strangers. While he has an inquisitive nature, he doesn’t seem too interested in playing with catnip or toys and instead prefers to spend his time snoozing on my lap. Despite his unique ear condition that makes him more susceptible to infections, Brutus continues to bring joy and happiness to my life.
Similar to most tuxedo cats out there, Brutus possesses quite a personality. He constantly craves for the spotlight and strives to be the alpha cat in every room. If you’re fond of his playful behavior, don’t forget to follow him on Instagram. Additionally, if you have friends who adore felines, make sure to share Brutus’ story and snaps with them. It’s worth mentioning that a study conducted on tuxedo cats’ cattitude revealed that Brutus’ trait is quite prevalent. For more information, check out cattitudedaily.com.
