What's your cat’s favorite toy and/or go-to treat?

My hand! 😹 or other cats! Even though he’s a petite tabby, Houdini’s an Alpha with complete orange tabby energy. He has one of the softest coats that I’ve ever felt and adores being scratched or petted. 😻 He loves Pounce treats, canned food/tuna and every one else’s food! 😼

What is your cat's most unique quality?

Houdini earned his name because he was such an escape artist! 😼 I could not keep him in the zippered pen/habitat that he was being held in until his mother was trapped for surgery. He managed to split the zipper along the track numerous times, causing me to re-trap him in my house, to assure his safety and overall care. After being successful in having his mom trapped/spayed, I went to return them for release and she took off without him, leaving him crying to get back into my car.🙀

Why should your cat be America’s Favorite?

Hairy Houdini is one of the most unique cats that I have ever come across. I have had special felines, and assisted in feeding and trapping hundreds of ferals, but non-behaved like he has. He’s the leader of the pack! 😽 His fur is as soft as they come, as well, and he’s an unusual petite tabby, for being so bossy. 😻 😾
