Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Soft and plush like a stuffed bear. This 4 mo old round faced beauty has unique light green eyes that compliment her peach/grey/white colored coat. Cricket is beautiful on the inside too. Here's what her foster mom has to say about her....
Cricket is doing wonderfully. She is an active, rambunctious kitten who loves to play with toys and run around. She is very brave and doesn't back down from the big cats when they try to intimidate her, but nor does she dislike them - she's interested in the other cats and is trying to make friends with them by following them around and sniffing at them while they're sleeping. There was even a consensual chase game this morning! She's learning the routine of running to the door with the others when I come home and coming for "roll call" when I call them to dinner. I can tell she likes being part of the group and definitely needs cat friends long term. Cricket is also very trusting - if she gets backed in to a corner under the bed, all I have to do is call her name and she'll come right out to me to be rescued. She likes being held and cuddled and sits with me on the couch to watch TV. Cricket also likes playing in the bathtub after a shower, and is fascinated by the drippy faucets. She's very smart about figuring out how to play with toys and how to get to places she's interested in, but she's also very polite and delicate when she moves around things. She got cranky at me once for needing to wash her paws, but other than that she's very relaxed about letting me move her about, expose her belly, confine her for hugs, etc. Cricket's also a great nose kisser and does the full cheek smear across my face when she's in the mood :-) " No small children (she was given up for scratching the child in her previous home...all in play we're sure!) but we don't want it to happen again! Cricket is in foster care in Arlington, VA
