Well hello and good day to you! My name is Riki and I’m a 4 year old member of the Tuxedo Titans.

Up until recently I was a stray who was surviving on the streets of Haverhill. Unlike many of my friends from “the hood” I seem to have been rather better at it. Or maybe I just hadn’t been on my own for that long. Who knows? It’s all rather a blur... Anyway, I don’t appear to have missed too many meals, because I’m not a dinky kitty. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not unhealthy, just…erm…well let’s say I’m “a bit of a unit”.

Chris, the Web Guy gave me my name. It’s short for "Rikishi" (力士) which is a Sumo Wrestler. He met some in Japan and they were big and really friendly, just like me. Certainly, when I sit on your lap, you do know about it. I like a fuss and a head scritch, and I have a purr that sounds like the roar of a crowd.

Since I’m not a kitty that likes to run about like a mad thing, I’d ideally like a relatively quiet home, with humans who know not to get too grabby. I’m probably ok with other sensible cats once we are introduced, and I think a doggo would be fine, provided neither fancies a lot of rough and tumble. I’ve long since retired from the basho!

If you have space in your home for a chilled out kitty, who just wants to give you love and affection accompanied by a background of happy purrs, I’m your boy. And I promise not to chuck my cat litter around like salt. Yes, that is a geeky reference. I have told Chris that.
