POW! Look Up ‘Tabby’ In The Dictionary, And You’ll Find Sweet, Cuddly Brayden

If you look up the word “tabby” in Wikipedia, you’ll find Brayden’s picture.

Brayden

OK, not exactly his photo, but one that looks very much like him, for Brayden is the epitome of a tabby cat — i.e., a domestic shorthair that features “distinctive stripes, dots, lines or swirling patterns, usually together with a mark resembling an ‘M’ on its forehead.

Tabby isn’t a breed of cat, but the pattern found on many breeds, stemming possibly from the DNA of its wildcat ancestors. Of course, Brayden is anything but wild!

This cuddly 2-year-old little man just wants a new family that he can scam out of as many hugs and kisses as possible. An active cat, Brayden likes to explore his new territory and test his boundaries. No cubbyhole, no small space is too minute for Brayden to venture into to claim as his new frontier.

He is a real sweetheart who loves getting petted from anyone he meets! Sharing his space with other cats is all fine and good, but Brayden would prefer to be an only cat.

If a big cuddle bug of a tabby cat sounds like he might fit nicely into your home, then don’t hesitate to visit Kane County Animal Control during adoption hours. Brayden is waiting to cuddle with you!
