SKITTISH TO CATCH, SWEET TO HOLD, OFTEN BRIEFLY FROM HIGH PLAY ENERGY. EASIEST TO HANDLE WHEN SITTING ON FLOOR. KIDS MUST BE 10 YRS +. I'm a pretty little girl with lots of cute stripes. I have a lot of fun energy for entertaining you with my play time antics and climbing skills! I don't mind you being in the room or walking around, but if you want to pick me up, you'll have to follow me for quite a while before getting the chance to scruff and pick me up! You can tell by watching me with my siblings and buddies, that I'm a real sweetie at heart, and I do like to be cuddled. Sometimes held for just a minute, other times long enough to chill out and fall asleep! If I'm up off the floor, many times I will stay there as you walk up slowly and gently pet my body only. Once I'm more familiar with you, you'll be able to pet my face there too without me running away! If I'm on the floor and you have to bend over to me, it's pure instinct to run around to avoid being caught. When you are able to catch up and scruff to pick me up, cuddle me and I'll relax and enjoy being there. My play energy may kick in soon though, and I would like to get down to play some more. I might not do so well with young kids as I could accidentally scratch someone not being gentle and slow. We'll just have to keep practicing that until I learn that you really do love me and I can trust you and love you back! Grab our wand toys and show me how much fun it is to be with you because you like to play too. Laugh a lot watching me run through my tunnel, flipping it over as I come out, or playing with a toy inside. I enjoy running around with my siblings and buddies, so a cat friend at home would be really great! I'm obsessed with motion activated toys that spin on the ground or under a sheet, or flutter in the air to jump and catch! I already climb like a champ all around the cat shelves here, and love being in the window beds. Having a cat tree by a window would tickle me pink! Be patient as we practice, practice gently picking me up to hold until I begin to love letting you!
