We asked Pickley's humans how their journey as a family began, and like some of the best beginnings with cats, they met at an animal shelter.

They said:

While all the other cats were playing, he wouldn’t stop staring at us through the glass.

They added:

It felt like he chose us.

Naturally, we wanted to hear more about Pickley's purrsonality! So we asked about his naughty side.

He loves knocking lamps and really anything onto the ground.

He once killed a butterfly, but he definitely felt bad about it.

"Pickley vs Alligator... who wins? (Alligator is not real.)"a

Pickley is very playful, we asked about his favorite toy:

His orange ball. He loves to play fetch, but it has to be the orange ball or he won’t.

"Bet you can't guess his favorite color."

"The purr-fect camouflage."

What else is Pickley like?

He tries to be independent, but he’s the most needy cat in the world.

"Body of a house cat, heart of a panther."

From their home in Texas, they also rightfully boasted about how smart sweet Pickley is:

He is more intelligent than your average human.

And Pickley is no stranger to the great, big world, clearly:

He loves the outdoors, and playing in the laundry basket.

And a surprise fun fact?

He actually enjoys car rides!
