A woman in Florida returned her adorable cat to the Humane Society of Broward County late last month because the feline was too affectionate, according to reports.
A video of the cat named Jerry, who was surrendered on Dec. 22, 2022, was posted by the society on TikTok with a caption that reads, “Too affectionate!” That's the reason why four-old Jerry's owner surrendered him.
I read “Florida cat surrendered” and thought dang, those Florida cats are getting into as much trouble as Florida man.
That had to have been tough.
Not a cat person at all -but do like the occasional “dog cats” - those that really do like people.
“Too affectionate” can mean “ neurotically needy and pees on your stuff everytime you leave the house”
Exactly! Because no one is going to adopt a cat surrendered for biting and pissing everywhere.
Was the owner who surrendered it another cat?
Yes, and the adoptee’s name was Pepe’ L. and he smelled funny.
The only cats I like are orange tabbies.
The idea that it could be too affectionate is probably seen by most people as a joke but I know what she means. I have a cat like that. He’s always in my face demanding to be petted.
We had a cat named “doggie”. It would put its’ paws around your neck and lick your face for minutes at a time.
My kid got a cat last summer. I have leaned more toward dogs for most of my life, but this cat has really grown on me. She’s very affectionate, “talks” to us frequently and appears to be very smart. She is quite a character too. She actually loves apples, of all things. Never seen that before! Gets along very well with our dogs. They are very entertaining when the play. We love her!
I’m glad Jerry has been given a new home right away.
I have some unusually needy cats, but would never surrender them.
The cat surrendered the owner for being a sour puss.
The cat replaced its staff.
“Too affectionate” can also mean “absolutely determined to sleep on your head at night”.
We had a tuxedo cat like that. He was a good cat, but he peed all over the house. The only thing that worked to stop it was putting him on a leash in a harness. It made him hunker down and we always knew where he was. Some redneck jackass intentionally ran over him when he was nine years old. If I’d have seen it I’d still be in jail.
WTH? She should adopt a snake.
