You may think that you know everything about cats, but they always find a way to surprise us. Cats usually aren’t really friendly to their human housemates, but Toulouse isn’t like most cats.
He is a 3-year-old orange cat who lives with his owner Katie Collins. When he was saved from the street, he wasn’t neutered, he didn’t have a microchip and his face was caved from some kind of an accident.
Even though he experienced so much trauma, you would think that Toulouse would be shy or skittish. However, when Katie took him home, he went straight out of his carrier and onto her lap. During his first night at his new home, he was tickling her ears with his whiskers and kneading her scalp like he was trying to massage her head. He still loves to display his love and affection.

With the coronavirus pandemic, Katie started working from home. Just like most people, she had to go through a period of adjustment. Although she adapted very well to the new situation, her orange feline always finds a way to deconcentrate her and sabotage her uses of technology. Toulouse has a constant need to be the center of attention, especially now when Katie works from home.
Cats usually sleep up to 16 hours a day. However, Toulouse is always awake and loves to play when Katie is most busy with work. In the evening when she’s done with work, the cat is usually curled up on a pillow in a ball, with paws hanging over his face.
Katie swears that her cat tries to knuckle down whenever she’s trying to concentrate. Toulouse just wants to be petted, loved, or played with. When he enters a room, he always announces himself loudly and repeatedly and makes intense eye contact with Katie while he honks like a little goose.
The place Toulouse likes the most is Katie’s laptop, especially when she’s on video calls. She can’t just shut the door while on a Zoom call because it triggers Toulouse’s worst behavior. He starts yowling like he’s been abandoned in a ditch.
