Detective Waffles, the kitten who licks your nose, lolls in your lap, & sleeps in your armpit!

Detective Waffles in an orange tiger tabby with a white belly and white paws. He loves to lie in your lap and fall asleep as you stroke his belly. He's a curious and active kitten and if you try to read a book in his presence, he enjoys sleeping on the book so that he's right under your face. He gives head-butts and licks your nose, putting a gentle paw up to your face. He can be squirmy if you pick him up wanting to hold him, because there's usually a game he wants to play somewhere else, but when he is in the mood for being held he is purry about it. He may fall asleep on your chest or your lap, but his favorite place when you are sleeping in bed is probably between your arm and your ribs, in the crook of your armpit. If you like someone who is curious about your baths/showers, chores, typing, and movements in general, you'll have a companion in Detective Waffles. He'll take down your particulars!

Detective Waffles is never rough or cranky; he's always open-hearted and cheerful. But there's one downside you should know about. He loves to chew cords! If you have, for instance, power cords in your home that would be expensive and/or time-consuming/difficult to replace, you will definitely not want to leave them unattended in a room with this kitty. He is not otherwise destructive, but this "foible" of his is a significant problem since he can sever a cord in one play session, before you even are aware he's doing it. The enclosed video should show him in action.
