My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

` `It`s a calico thing, you wouldn`t understand` - Shelly Belly

Say hello to the sweetest butterball with the cutest face you`ll ever meet.

Most of the time she`s lucky to have two functioning brain cells and what she craves most is a soft bed in which she can purr in while practicing her master craft, world-famous biscuits. She LOVES to cuddle and touch noses with the human petting her. If you`re ever on floor level, she loves to rub against you and sprawl on her back for belly rubs. Her showing you her belly is not a trap but an invitation to rub a soft tummy while making her happy.

She loves to be brushed, especially down her back and under her chin, but his skeptical about her hind legs and belly being brushed. (Skeptical as in will tolerate it, but look at you warily and try to walk off after a moment.)

She tolerates baths alright, but does so with some dramatic meows and some escape attempts. She has never tried to scratch in mean-ness to get away. She does well getting her nails trimmed, sometimes ducking her head under your arm, but is brave about it. If you ever need to give her medicine, she`s a good girl about it and won`t fight you like some cats will.

She prefers wet treats and has often ignored crunchy treats.

She loves catnip. She will play with wand toys, but likes to act like she`s annoyed while doing so. Seems to prefer stuffie toys (Especially ones with catnip inside) over balls with bells in them.

She really is a good and sweet girl and I believe that if half the cats here (7 of them) weren`t picking on her, she wouldn`t be peeing in places she shouldn`t be.`
