She is a shy, slow-to-warm-up cat who needs time to adjust to new surroundings, but once she feels safe, she settles into a predictable and peaceful routine. She is fully litter trained and eats mostly wet food, with dry food only occasionally. She also loves churu, but it took a few weeks for her to accept it.
She’s overall a very laid-back cat who prefers to sleep most of the day. For the first three weeks in foster care she didn’t show any zoomies at all, but now she’s started having a few short, cute bursts of energy in the evenings. Her play style is minimal — she’ll chase a string for a moment and then quickly lose interest.
She is very clear about her personal boundaries. She only likes being touched on her face and does not enjoy being picked up for more than a minute. When she’s uncomfortable, she communicates it gently at first with a pretend bite or a light nip; if the behavior continues, she will deliver a firmer bite and then run away. She will do best with someone who understands and respects feline signals.
One of her sweetest quirks is that she loves sitting on her person. If you lie down, she’ll come sit on your back or legs to relax. Because this is one of her favorite ways to bond, she needs a home where cats are allowed on the bed.
She would be ideal for someone who wants a calm, low-demand companion and doesn’t expect a cat to be overly playful or entertaining. She’s happiest with a quiet environment, gentle routines, and someone who appreciates a peaceful, independent cat who still chooses to share her affection in her own special way.
