Why adopt

The Tabby rewards consistency with affection. At 60% trust, it will sit in your lap. At 80%, it sleeps at your feet. The social trait means the Tabby actually enjoys your company, not just your food. For agents who want visible proof that showing up matters, the Tabby delivers that proof gently and often.
