Abyssinian kittens & cats in Belton, Missouri

Being tough has been my motto for a long time. I was a street cat years ago and had to search for food every single day. Life was hard. When I was pregnant, I found my way to Help Humane Because I started to trust the person who was feeding me outside. I had my babies and they found homes. I had a hard time switching from constantly being on guard to being able to be calm and settled. I have a history of being teased and tormented so I tend to react out of discomfort rather than immediately know that I am safe. Yes I do have a “tad bit” of Siamese sass, but there is another side to me that only a few select people get to see. One time, I was adopted by an older gentleman. He took time to get to know me. He was gentle. He believed in me. I adored him and would sit on his lap and shower him with my affection. Sadly, he was unable to continue caring for me and my family at Help Humane took me back. Sometimes I get overstimulated with all the commotion of new people walking around or noise…. That’s when my defensiveness comes out. I know that I am not for everyone and truthfully, everyone is not for me. I have a tiny amount of people who are in my friend circle. I have picked them very carefully. I know who I like and how I like to interact. I love to play with specifically chosen toys. I have my favorite beds. I like to eat snacks if they are properly offered to me. If you think you could accept me for me…. Come spend some time with me and see if we can become friends. When you join my inner circle, I will hop on your shoulder or lap… I weave in and out by your ankles and enjoy following you around. Let’s become friends first….. perhaps later we can be family.
