I did not name him Shadow, my family did day 1 and it's stuck. Now he responds to it.
I'm writing this from a very sad and remorseful perspective because I truly do not want to give him up but between my landlord threatening to evict and difficulty finding a suitable home for myself that allows pets I can no longer keep him.Shadow is a very cuddly cat. He loves making bread, bread sticks, pasta, anything that required him to kneed. He's a pretty calm cat, but when he plays, he enjoys playing with stings, ribbons, and other miscellaneous stringy things. He does pay rent in the form of pest control. He has eaten an invader baby lizard, so maybe this is something that you might need. He gets along well with other cats, gets along well with cuddly humans especially, I am unsure about children, but I suspect he would love them too. I do not know about how he would get along with dogs.
Shadow likes treats, scratching posts, and following his favorite human to the bathroom. Shadow is not a fan of suffocating hugs (I've tried), and loud noises like thunder.
