He is friendly, energetic, gentle, playful, and cheerful. He likes to engage in play with the two young boys in the household, as well as with his littermates. Amethyst frequently participates in playful activities such as chasing, tug-of-war, or fetch with the children, clearly relishing the interaction and companionship. He expresses his affection by nudging, licking, or playfully pawing at children or his littermates. He becomes extremely excited when the boys return home from school, eager to play with them. As can be observed in his pictures, he is all legs and has yet to grow into them. He may stumble or trip as he runs swiftly to keep up with the children. He also enjoys cuddling and is well socialized.
