In his own words

"I was at the shelter when she walked in. I looked at her. She looked at me. I meowed once, which was more than I typically offer. She held me and I arranged myself across her shoulders, which I believe settled the matter. She has described this as a choice she made. I do not correct her."

"I am quiet, friendly, and selective, in that order. I will sit on your shoulders if I decide you are worthy. I will jump there on command, but only when you are seated, and only because I have chosen to honor your request. This is not the same as being trained. I want to be clear about that."

"I also stare at things in the middle distance for extended periods. I am not concerned. I am monitoring. There is a difference, and I will not be explaining it to you."

🪑
A seated human
Standing is not a perch. He has standards for his launch surface.
🤫
Respectful silence
He will initiate conversation when he is ready. Do not rush this.
👁️
Someone who gets it
Friendly does not mean available. He trusts you understand the distinction.
🌨️
A witness
For the staring. Someone should know it is happening. That is all.
Family
Toothless
Brother · view profile →
Toothless is his brother. They share a window. They have an understanding. Neither has explained it to anyone.
Dealbreakers
Approaching without an invitation. He is friendly. He is not a free sample.
Moving too fast in his vicinity. He has clocked you. Slow down.
Attempting to pet him before he has completed his assessment. He will let you know when he is ready.
Confusing 'selective' with 'unfriendly.' These are not the same category and he resents the implication.

Selective Presence Consulting
We don't help you get more clients. We help you want fewer.

Not everyone deserves your time. Selective Presence Consulting helps high-discernment individuals establish who is worth acknowledging, who receives a slow blink, and who simply does not make the list. Our proprietary Threat Assessment Framework has been field-tested by cats across seventeen zip codes. We do not take walk-ins. We do not respond to cold outreach. If you found us, you were probably referred.

🪟
⚠️ Selective Presence Consulting is not responsible for outcomes resulting from approaching someone before their assessment is complete. Results include but are not limited to: being stared at, being ignored, and a general sense that you have made an error. We warned you.
