✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • He is! Skippy started his life out as Spatz Troublepuffs of The Furrals, a colony of feral cats which came about after two households in a rural neighborhood abandoned their cats outside when they moved away. The Furrals are now lovingly tended cats, but Skippy was an outsider who lived in a groundhog hole, regularly picked fights with bigger, stronger cats, and kept getting injured. Rachel offered to adopt him.

    Now, he lives indoors with Xanthe and Clementine, and spends his days enjoying pets, snuggles, treats, and upholstered furniture. (He really loves cushions of any sort.)

    He’s shy around new people, but he listens when being talked to with rapt interest and affection.
