Hybex is a very sweet and calm cat. He is a Turkish Angora with thick white fur and an affectionate personality.
Hybex quickly becomes devoted to his 12 primary caregivers. If you feed him and pay attention to him, he will reward you with a great deal of loyalty. He will follow you around to rub up against your legs, and if you sit down on the couch he will mostly likely follow you there and sit right next to you. He loves to be scratched on pretty much his entire body, and he doesn't seem to have a limit for how much petting he wants. His best trait is how snuggly he is at night when you get into bed, he follows you and likes to tuck himself right next to you, leaning his shoulders and chin on your legs or side.
Hybex is somewhat playful, and especially likes to chase a laser or play by himself with a pompom or ping pong ball, but he mostly just wants to sit peacefully with his people. He spends a lot of time looking out the window and chirping at birds, too. Hybex is also deaf (a common trait in his breed), so you need to be careful when you approach him, because he startles easily if you touch him when he can't see you.
While Hybex has a great personality, he does have some specific needs for his forever family. He does not do well with other cats or dogs, and he is not great with little kids, either. He would do best in a family where someone is home a lot, but he is certainly fine being left alone during a normal workday. Changes to his home environment are somewhat stressful for him, so it will be important to create a routine with him and ensure that your home is generally peaceful. Overall, a forever family of one to two people who are willing to spend a lot of time with a cat tucked up against them is the best fit for Hybex.
