Here's what the humans have to say about me:
DOB February 18, 2010.
Personality: Mary-Mary is confident and affectionate-she flopped down for some attention almost immediately after arriving in foster care. She is interactive and alert when it comes to people. Mary-Mary is also clever. She knows where I hide her string-toy, she sits for treats, and she will occasionally condescend to fetch her furry mouse. She is a chatterbox when she wants something (food, fresh water, attention). She is litter box perfect. She sleeps through the night at the foot of the bed. She remains quite gentle during play. She is altogether adorable and one of the easiest fosters I've ever had.
Health: We think Mary-Mary is having an allergic reaction to something in either her food or her environment. TCR is working with Mary-Mary's vet on resolving the issue and I will update her profile accordingly. Her health is otherwise excellent and she has recently visited the dentist.
Appearance: Mary-Mary is a smallish, medium-haired cutie-pie. Her eye-color is an unusual mix of green, grey and blue. She came into foster care somewhat underweight but is filling out nicely. Because of her allergies, Mary-Mary's fur isn't what it should be. Proper nutrition over the long term however will soon transform this temporarily threadbare girl into a glorious ball of fluffy orange magnificence.
Quirks: Mary-Mary has a collection of different meow-sounds ranging from screaming impatiently for her food to quacking happily like a duck. She will occasionally knead your chest / stomach / back for awhile prior to sleep. She tolerates being picked-up, but does not like it. If you are feeling lazy, she will pet herself on whatever is closest. She likes a clean litter box-she'll squawk to let you know when its time to scoop. She is a skillful hider of toys. She drools when content. She hates being segregated.
Other cats: Mary-Mary is curious when it comes to the resident cat who lives outside her bedroom door. She has to date shown zero aggression.
Conclusion: Mary-Mary thrives on human companionship (and food). She will do well in an adult-only home, or one with older, gentle children where she will receive lots of attention. She would be fine as an only cat and probably also as the companion to another friendly, non-dominant cat. A home where she is left alone for long periods at a time won't work. She needs people in her life who are home on a regular basis.
