- Nova MUST be sleeping on your chest the whole night. He will actively yell at you to sit or lie down so he can cuddle. -Loki will wait until Nova gets up to run in and steal his spot on your lap or he will just join in. - Loki will paw at someone gently until they lift their blanket so he can crawl in and sleep underneath. - Nova drools when he is happy! He will purr and drool on me when cuddling or going to bed. - Loki and Nova are very talkative and will tell you their side of the story for everything!
They are very funny boys who act like they are two years old and definitely keep me on my toes!
How would you describe the cat's general personality?
Loki is extremely friendly and social. He enjoys being around people and playing with wand toys. He is a fun and talkative kitty. Loki loves to get into mischief wherever he can, he is very curious and can even open doors!
Nova is shyer but once he warms up to someone he becomes a velcro kitty. He is always on my lap or my chest when I am sitting, and he is very sweet and needy with his person. Although he is less social than Loki, he is still a well-adapted cat who likes to be around people although not until he trusts them. But once he does, you will have a sweet shadow following you everywhere.
Together the boys love to curl up and cuddle! They rarely get into fights unless it is Nova making a dominance display but never anything to cause harm. They go everywhere together
