PARIS — Responsible Pet Care is featuring Steven, a gentleman cat with two loves in life: napping and cat nip.

Steven likes to nap under a blanket and doesn’t like to be disturbed. When his nap time is disrupted, he will poke his head out from the covers and give a disagreeable look to whomever is responsible for interrupting his dreams. Then curiosity gets the best of him and he ventures out to see who is around.

The other thing that will uncover Steven quickly is cat nip. If a little is tossed his way, he’s on it.

Eleven-year-old Steven doesn’t like to overexert himself. He is a true couch potato. It doesn’t take too much to keep him happy.

Responsible Pet Care has several senior cats that need homes. In the hope of encouraging people to adopt an older cat, it has reduced the adoption fee for senior cats.
