Name: Schmoo (Schmooey, Schmooington, Schmoobalooby, etc)
Breed: Domestic Shorthair (Orange tabby)
Likes: WET FOOD, belly rubs, heating sources (including laps), bed time, and “new smells”, also loves the sound of my manager’s voice, changing apartments, back scratches, inanimate objects, burying under the sheets
Dislikes: The litter box, tepid water, stairs (at first), when Nate and I kiss, aggressive petting
About Schmoo: Schmoo is the first cat I’ve ever had in my life. Before him, I was deathly allergic to cats—but somehow that allergy just magically disappeared when I walked into a North Carolina shelter 10 years ago looking for a dog and walked out with a cat. I saved him from being euthanized that week, but he truly saved me. Everything happens for a reason, and there’s no doubt we were meant to find each other. He’s the sweetest animal and our angel boy. Also, shoutout to Tristine, who still loves Schmoo despite his potty behavior!
