Kira Pierson adopted Marcus from the Animal Friends Humane Society in Hamilton, Ohio about three years ago and they’ve been best friends ever since.
“He absolutely changed my life,” Pierson said. “Before him, I had never had a pet and he made me an animal lover.”

Marcus is a very energetic cat, but he can also be stubborn and likes to do things his way.
“He’s incredibly lively, but picky when he wants to play,” added Pierson. “When he doesn’t want to play, he walks away and falls asleep across the room from me.”

Being outside is one of Marcus’ favorite pastimes. His parents bought him a leash so he can go for walks on occasion, and he also has his own small catio where he can safely spend time enjoying the great outdoors. Of course, Marcus can’t get enough of it and he’s always looking for ways to spend even more time outside.
Pierson recently chose to paint her front door and walked outdoors to complete the task – without Marcus. Marcus was clearly not a fan of being left out, and not long into the painting process, he found a way to let his mom know how he felt about her being outdoors without him.

“I was painting outside for approximately 10 minutes before I noticed him,” Pierson explained.

Pierson couldn’t help but laugh when she noticed Marcus’ little head with a grumpy expression on his face at the window. He locked his gaze on her, thinking that his rage would compel her to open the door and allow him out – but it didn’t work.
“He was at the window for about three minutes before he decided he had something else to do,” Pierson explained.
Marcus has finally left the window, but that doesn’t mean he stopped trying to find out how to get what he wants.
