Story
Azula is super sweet and loving. Loves to cuddle a lot, will actually sleep on your face or probably become one with you if she had the opportunity. She loves to sunbathe and will not destroy your Christmas tree, she just likes to sleep under it because she is the star of the show. She loves hanging around kiddos, other cats and dogs as she is very well socialized but will go find a hiding spot whenever overwhelmed or just in general since she likes dark cold places. Azula is also very nosy so if anything is happening outside she will be the first cat to be there.
