I just picked Julian out of the sink, alerted to his presence there by a clatter. Not that I object to tabby-in-sink, but that I don't want him breaking dishes (there were too many to fit in the dishwasher last night). His paws are wet, and so now is my shirt.
Oooh, this is exactly the cat I was wishing I'd find at the shelter last time I went there to adopt a kitten. And, dried food not good for cats? Rubbish.
Dry cat food ought to be fine (unless you're going to give him home-made food); there's even low-magnesium cat food that's supposed to help prevent urinary problems.
What a handsome lad! And, as others have observed, lucky, too. Cat heaven awaits, young fellow... prepare yourself for a glorious life.
W/r/t inquisitive felines and countertop wanderings: the best ways to keep cats from going where one does not wish them to go (not that THEY give a rat's rear end!) is to make it unpleasant to the touch -- aluminum foil (texture and weird sound), plastic wrap (texture) and, worst of all, double-sided tape. "Sticky Paws," available in pet stores for ~ $10/package, is nothing more than overpriced wide strips of double-sided tape. Major advantage of these tactics is that they work when no-one is home :-}. Squirt bottles only work when you're there to use 'em.
Mazel tov to you, cattitude, and Julian -- may you enjoy many years of warm companionship, great food, and serious purring.
