Hickory

My story

Meet Hickory – Headbutt Enthusiast, Professional Snuggler, Certified Lap Inspector Hickory is a big-hearted brown tabby with one mission in life: to gently smash his face into your body and stay there forever. This sweet adult boy takes his headbutts very seriously — we’re talking slow, dramatic, full-contact nuzzles that say, “You are now legally required to pet me.” He won’t just ask for love — he’ll demand it with his signature move: The Stand-and-Nuzzle. That’s where he stands perfectly still and tenderly buries his face into your side like a cat trying to phase into your soul. Resistance is futile. He is pure affection in tabby form. Hickory is also a devoted lap connoisseur. Sit down for 0.2 seconds, and he’ll appear like a whiskered ninja, ready to settle in and never leave. Blankets? Optional. Hickory? Mandatory. If you’re in the market for a snugglebug with strong opinions about headbutts and an even stronger desire to be in your lap 24/7, Hickory is your guy. He’s soft, he’s sweet, he’s silly — and he’s ready to smoosh his face into your heart.
