Sometimes, even the most patient animal rescue groups reach their limit, and such seems to be the case for one particular feline in need, known as Mr. Whiskers, or as he likes to call himself, Sir Whiskerton. The adoption listing for this little troublemaker certainly doesn’t mince words!
According to their online platform, the Animal Advocates of Brisbane provide “Support • Resources • Advocacy – for rescued cats and their humans” in Australia. But it seems that their patience may have worn thin with Mr. Whiskers, who received a brutally honest adoption ad on their website.
This delightfully candid listing claims that Sir Whiskerton “is an incredibly sassy little tyrant… a true monarch of his domain.” Just your average house cat, right? The founder of Animal Advocates, Lucy Harper, penned this unapologetic description — and she deserves a round of applause. After all, potential adopters have a right to know exactly what they’re signing up for!
As NPR reports, Mr. Whiskers isn’t shy about expressing his dissatisfaction. If he feels his freedom is being restricted, he will throw a hissy fit until he gets his way. “He hates being kept inside and will protest loudly if you forget to let him out on demand (trust me, there were some dramatic moments during the first weeks at his foster home),” Lucy notes.
And if you neglect to serve his meals on time, prepare for a performance worthy of Broadway. “He will make it known that he’s not happy with a dramatic flair!”
Oh, and let’s not forget the bite. “If he’s displeased with your actions, you might just find yourself on the receiving end of a little nip!” Or perhaps if you don’t pet him to his liking. “Mr. Whiskers prefers his cuddles to be on his schedule, and if your technique isn’t up to par, he’ll let you know with a gentle bite.”
He even has a penchant for swiping at unsuspecting feet. “Sometimes he enjoys a little paw action on your toes, depending on what’s in reach.” This guy is no joke!
I won’t lie; while I was reading this description, I had to double-check that I wasn’t looking at a report about a toddler. After all, they too “prefer affection on their terms.” But judging by the adorable picture accompanying the listing, Mr. Whiskers is, indeed, a cat — and a charming one at that.
He does have some redeeming qualities. He “tolerates kisses on his sleek black head when he’s feeling extra affectionate… loves to be involved in whatever you’re doing (which likely means he’ll find a cozy spot on your keyboard), and he’s “remarkably healthy.”
As of now, the ad indicates that Mr. Whiskers is “on hold,” which hopefully means someone has the courage to bring this spirited kitty into their home. Just a gentle reminder for any potential adopters: “Mr. Whiskers is not a cat for the faint-hearted or inexperienced. He is a full-blooded tomcat with clear boundaries.”
So, if you think you have what it takes to handle this little dynamo, he might just make the perfect addition to your family.
