Senryu first appeared here in January, but timing being what it sometimes is, this drop-dead gorgeous cat has yet to hook up with someone special. He's a big fellow, around 6 kg, and prefers the ladies to men and, though he's not wild about either, would be cooler with sharing his pad with a dog rather than another cat. An independent woman would probably suit him best, someone who can give him his space while appreciating his masculinity — someone who won't scoff at his shyness, giggle at his little kitten voice or mind terribly that he's impeccably clean, all of which would seem to contradict his tough-guy appearance. Senryu is a catch and a keeper. Don't pass this fellow up!
