This ‘Total Mischief Maker of a Cat’ Needs a Family ASAP

In the world of pet adoption, sometimes even the most patient rescue organizations reach their limit. This seems to have been the case when the team at Feline Friends of Melbourne crafted the adoption profile for one particularly notorious feline, Mr. Whiskers.

Their candid portrayal of this four-legged renegade certainly doesn’t hold back. The organization, which champions “Welfare • Advocacy • Support – for rescued cats and their humans” in Australia, seems to have found Mr. Whiskers to be a challenge worth sharing.

According to his adoption listing, Mr. Whiskers is “a complete troublemaker…a ruler and a tyrant.” So, just your typical cat behavior, right?

Gina Smith, the founder of Feline Friends of Melbourne, penned this brutally honest description. And good for her! Future cat owners deserve to know what they’re signing up for. Cats can be deceptive, and Mr. Whiskers might put on a charming façade to lure in unsuspecting adopters, only for them to discover the truth once they bring him home.

Gina laid out the facts clearly. “Mr. Whiskers does not appreciate being told no. He throws a dramatic fit if he can’t go outside when he wants to (and he had quite a few tantrums when he wasn’t allowed outdoors for the first weeks at his foster home). Being fed late also sends him into a frenzy.”

Oh, and you should watch out for his nips. “If he’s displeased with your actions, you might get a little bite!” Or if you don’t pet him just right. “Mr. Whiskers only enjoys cuddles on his own schedule. He’ll sit in your lap when it suits him, and if your petting technique isn’t up to his standards, he’ll give you a nip.”

And let’s not forget, “Sometimes he swipes at your feet too. It all depends on what he can reach.” This cat means business!

While reading this, I couldn’t help but think of my own child, who also “enjoys cuddles on his terms.” The name “Lord Whiskers” would be a fun moniker for my son—too bad my partner shot that down! Yet, based on his listing photo, Mr. Whiskers is undeniably a striking cat.

He does have some redeeming qualities, like “allowing kisses on his glossy coat when he’s in a good mood…loves being involved in whatever you’re doing (which likely means he’ll perch on your keyboard while you work), and he’s “incredibly healthy.” After reading this profile, I’m tempted to adopt Gina Smith as well!

As of now, Mr. Whiskers’ ad indicates he’s “on hold,” which hopefully means someone is brave enough to take on this independent kitty and provide the home he demands. Anyone considering adopting him should heed the final note: “Mr. Whiskers is not suited for the inexperienced or timid. He is a full-blooded tomcat with strict boundaries.”

Sounds a bit like my child, but at least he doesn’t come with claws! Unfortunately, my little one seems to enjoy biting just as much as Mr. Whiskers.
