Seems to have a gentle disposition seems to be very protective. He enjoys spending the day in the yard and sleeping in the middle of the bed at night, he would definitely let you know something is outside. He came from a home with an eight year old child and he seems to do well with my two kittens about six months old. I believe he's about 18 months old and has not been to veterinarian. Took him in to save him from the animal shelter.
