About Tanuki

Tanuki likes to be enclosed. He prefers to be under a small blanket or under something like a couch, so he can't be seen he likes to tuck his head in. He's a shy cat but he lets you pet him and give him love any time you want, and he is a night owl for roaming and eating. Because he's timid, you need to allow time for him to get comfortable with you. Two months in and he will now nibble a treat from my hand (shake a bag of Temptations and up pops his head!), eat while I'm moving about, and let's me hold him for longer periods of time. He’s not aggressive at all and so quiet you'd not know he was there. He’s a love and would be good for someone who doesn’t want a demanding cat.
