Story
Little Lucille is a major sweetheart. A very nice cat, good-natured and gentle with a lot of love to give, not just receive. Her personality is happy, friendly, innocent, and trusting. She's easy-going, well-mannered, lovable and cuddly. She loves to be pet and will roll over with delight while you rub her belly and hug her. Even with her missing leg, she is not protective of the area and wants you to pet her all over. She likes rubbing her face vigorously on your arm, face, and head. We suspect since she can't rub her own face, it feels extra good to do that. And it's not a soft dainty rub... but a rather heart-felt, full-fledge kind of nuzzling.
Her front leg was removed at 2 years old. Her deceased owner's vet record says she was missing for 3 weeks and returned with a swollen foot that became infected and resulted in her amputation. She is an indoor cat, 4 years old and well adapted to the loss of her leg. Her tripod status doesn't phase her at all. She can run and play just like everyone else. She can't jump real high though. She can get on the couch, but not on your counters!
Her energy level is chill, and lounge-y, but also alert and interested, aware of activity and wants to be part of things. She sometimes follows around to see whats going on. When you stop to make eye contact or ask her a question she answers with a small meow that is more of a peep. She comes when you call her, and loves being acknowledged and included in your life. Overall she's very content and goes with the flow. She knows the routines and comes running for meals. When the TV goes off at night, she runs to bed and beats you there so excited for bedtime where she can rub her face on you. She loves to feel safe snuggled up close with your arm around her, and burrowed under blankets.
She has moderate energy and likes to toss around her favorite toy. She enjoys havjng fun and someone to play with her.
She is shy with new people at first, but once she feels safe she makes herself right at home. She is timid of strangers and hides when they come over, but as soon as they leave she reappears. She will do best in a calm, quiet home.
She is a nice friend to other cats and good at reading them to fit herself in. She has the self-esteem to "be herself" but if another cat is dominant toward her, she can feel intimidated. Or if it's a cat that minds their own business, then she minds hers and respects their space. If it's a cat that is equally nice, she will make the effort to reach out and become friends... share a window seat for a nap, lick their head. She has always lived with other cats and enjoys the companionship, but would also do well as an only pet with someone who can give her the attention. Overall, she gravitates more to the attention of people and wants to be a loyal best friend to someone who appreciates her affection.
She is healthy, fixed, and fully vetted.
