I am trying to find a good new home for my cat. I need the suggestion about what kind of setting would be appropriate for him:
My cat, Tigger, is 5 yrs old, medium size, male, neutered, Japanese bobtail. He is very playful, and still like a baby, loves to be petted, and loves attention.
We adopted him with his brother when they were a few weeks old. We already had one medium size cat which was a few years older than him. We had a baby boy. He grew up with cats. We all had lived together with no problem. Unfortunately, my husband was transferred to Australia October, 2003. The quarantine for Australia is very strict (6 months), and we he got transferred we knew that we would be in Australia for less than a year. We had no intention to give cats away. So, we looked around and found 3 families to look after each of our cats, while we are gone. Tigger went to one of my very good friends, Kathy, who also loves animals. She has 2 cats and one dog, and 3 children. Unfortunately, Kathy says Tigger is not getting along well with her cats. Especially, one of them is 14-15 years old, and she does not like groughh play. In an effort to try and deal with the situation, she took him to the vet. The vet felt that Tigger was probably nervous and not happy at her place. Also, I wonder if I had pampered him too much, and that at my friendfs house he wasnft getting enough love and attention.

Kathy says that she can not keep him for much longer, because of the friction between the two cats. Now, I reluctantly decided to find him a permanent new home. He is very special to me. I would like to find him a good home, with minimum stress as possible.

What kind of setting would be good for him?
With or without existing pets?
If with cat(s), what kind of cats would be good?
And any more?

I worry about him very much. Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you.
Yasuko
