Aye, Scottie, there is intelligent life here. There must be, for who could resist this sweet, mellow black-and-white cat. Scottie is a 2.578-year-old neutered male cat, back from a 5-year mission boldly going where no cat has gone before — and ridding the Starship Enterprise of those pesky little tribbles. He has all his shots and his claws have been set permanently on stun.

This mellow, loving cat asks nothing more than a full-Scottish breakfast every morning, with haggis, of course. He’s good with dogs and other cats but tolerates Klingons. He’ll be happy to come live with you and share stories of his adventure, so why not beam him up?
