Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Princess
6 year old Female Bluepoint Himalayan
So I’m not the foster mom, but I was asked to write the bio for this cat. What a scream. No, not literally.
A couple of months ago, I went to visit the foster home where Princess has been hanging out lately. Jen’s own cats and most of her fosters were behaving as usual, moving around in a cluster from room to room, wherever there might be someone or something to see. I’ve always wondered how a person can give adequate attention to more than three cats, but now I know: flat-faced cats, like walruses, like to stay very close together, so it’s actually easier to pay attention to several of them all at the same time than to single any one out. But I digress.
After several minutes of making sure I had patted all members of the welcoming party, I noticed one small—dare I say scruffy—blue cat perched on the back of Jen’s living-room sofa. She was very cute, all the more so insofar as she seemed to be surveying the rest of her cohort with a distinctly superior air. I approached and sat down quite near her. How might a head scratch be received? Quite well, as it turned out, although while purring, this funny girl pointedly closed her eyes—veeerrrry slowly, as if to convey to me a certain dissatisfaction with my appearance. (How can you have no fur? Ugh! You must be one of those ugly Sphynx cats!) Then suddenly the round blue eyes snapped open at the sound of—could it be?—the crisping of paper--maybe a foil-lined sack of kitty chow?--in the kitchen. No. It was a false alarm this time. I offered a consolatory head scratch, and again the regal eyelids closed, safeguarding the elevation of Her thoughts.
Princess arrived in rescue underweight and matted, but after a few months of loving care, she is healthy, and her coat, which needed to be shaved, is growing back in. When she’s back in full fluff—no, that is not official jargon—she will have somewhat bushier hair than you see in the photographs. Like all Persians and Himis, she will need to be brushed daily, and yes, she needs regular face washing. She loves to have her face washed.
Princess is fairly vocal, emitting mews and growls. One of her strangest behaviors is that when you pet her, she might growl, all the while pushing her little body into your hand as you pet. At Jen’s she is living with other cats, but she does not feel that she needs them about h]er dignified person. She does need a human family experienced with Persians and Himis. We have not seen her with children and feel that a family without children would be best for her.
This petite paragon of pomposity has been vaccinated, microchipped, and verified negative for FIV and FeLV. She is litterbox perfect, and we won’t offend her by implying that you inquired. She is fostered in Lodi. We guarantee that she will make you laugh. For more information, please contact her foster mom Jen… Jennifer Farrell jenniferfarrell@hotmail.com.
