Butternut is a Domestic Shorthaired Tabby about 6-8 months old.
He is an extremely loving boy but only with people he knows, or gets to know right now.
He is afraid of strangers. He probably is not appropriate for a household with children or dogs, however he does very well with other cats. Once he gets to know you, and feels secure, he will fall in love and give you tons of affection.
Butternut has incredible potential to be a super pet, once he gets over his shyness. Butternut is a great looking brown, male Tabby with extraordinary vivid markings. He is overcoming his shyness and loves to be held and like his sister Curshaw, he drools with contentment when you hold him.
