SKITTISH TO CATCH, VERY SWEET TO HOLD. PRETTY EASY TO PET ON SHELF. EASIER TO HANDLE SITTING ON THE FLOOR. KIDS MUST BE 10 YRS +. You can tell how sweet I am just from looking at this adorable face! And oh my gosh, just look at all these cute spots! I really do love getting pets and being held, but for a while, you'll have to work for it. My instinct is to run from you when you want to pick me up, so we'll get a little exercise until you finally get the chance to scruff and pick me up. Then you'll see all the love come through as I almost instantly relax in your arms. If I'm laying on the furniture, or somewhere off the floor so that you're not bending over me as much, it's easy to gently come over and pet my body for a bit, then you can very gently pet my face too. Bring along some little treats, or squeeze up treat for me to see what good things come when your hands are near. When I'm in the floor, bring along our wand toy and play along with me so I'll see that you're fun to be with. I also enjoy lots of toys and tunnels or pop up huts, and I'm crazy for motion activated toys that spin around, move under a sheet or flutter around in the air to chase and catch! I love my siblings, or other buddies to run and play with too! I like to climb and sit up off the floor, so I'm climbing well enough to have a cat tree that I will probably be on most of the time and have lots of naps there. Blankets on the furniture will be great for naps and making biscuits as I get used to sitting with you. I'm not quite as active as my siblings, but I find plenty of things to do, and I'm fun to watch when playing! Be patient and keep practicing catching and holding me, because pretty soon sitting with you and getting attention will be one of my favorites things to do too!
