She wants loving on her terms, and doesn’t really care to be held very long. She’s always wanting down to go play with her sister or some toys. She will run and hide if my husband or a stranger comes into the kitten room, but she’ll not stay hidden long; she’s very curious and will come out to say hello and check things out. She like’s attention and likes to be picked up, but doesn’t like to be held very long. She’s very feisty and playful; she’ll sometimes “answer” you when you talk to her, breaking up her mews and squeaks almost like she’s enunciating words; quite affectionate when she’s in the mood; she’s very active, climbs to the top of the cat cage often, and from there jumps over onto the upright freezer in the kitten room. I don’t know how she is with other cats. She’s been around only her sister, and has only been able to look at my little deaf rescue cat in the next room, through the clear Lexan partition. I don’t let my fosters associate with my own cats, or the other rescue cats. I don’t know how she is with dogs, as we don’t have any. I don’t know about children either, as our kids are grown and gone.
