17 years ago, Hannah Ramswick-Fuller and her family paid a visit to their neighbors to meet their new kittens. To their surprise, they also met a friendly stray cat who tagged along for some fun. Despite not being part of the litter, the stray quickly became friends with Hannah and the others. Impressed by his affectionate nature, the neighbors offered to let them adopt him, and they happily agreed. With his striking dark grey coat, they named him Indigo.
Today, Indigo is still happily living with his family. Despite his aloof appearance, he has a deep affection for his humans and everyone else he meets.

Indigo is described as a social cat with a deceivingly cranky appearance. However, according to Hannah, he is actually very affectionate and loves being around his human companions. He is known to be a large lap cat who enjoys waking up his owners by gently pawing at their faces in the morning, seeking attention and pets. In a way, Indigo can be seen as a bit of a royal figure in his love for affection.
The family also has another cat and a dog, both of whom Indigo gets along with quite well. As long as they don’t disrupt his cuddle sessions, that is.

“He doesn’t meow much, but when he does, it’s a quiet little squeak,” mentioned Hannah, noting that her cat Indigo enjoys the outdoors and making new friends. Interestingly, some neighbors have woken up to find the mischievous feline curled up in their beds at night more than once. “Thankfully, everyone has welcomed him with open arms, and we’ve always managed to retrieve him in the morning,” Hannah shared.

These days, he has a new morning routine where he wakes us all up at six in the morning by energetically playing with his beloved bat-on-a-string toy, only to doze off on it the moment we get out of bed.
“Hannah mentioned that despite Indigo’s unusual appearance, he has lived a healthy and long life so far. The kitty is currently dealing with kidney disease, which the vet says is common for his age. He is on a strict diet and medication to help him gain weight, as he only weighs six and a half pounds,” Hannah shared. “Although he always has some eye goop and seems a bit sniffly, the vet hasn’t found anything unusual, attributing it to his squished face.”
Hannah added that she makes sure to dampen a piece of toilet paper to make it easier to wipe away the eye goop whenever she sees it.
