Fiona

My story

Fiona is a nervous and shy cat. She prefers quiet environments without a lot of activity. She does well one on one with older children who understand she needs to take her time to warm up and to go slow. Fiona does not like to be picked up; she turns into a statue and just wants to move around on her own terms. This goes for lap time and pets too. When she finds her person that is who she wants her affection from. She will let you know by holding her paw up to you, spreading her adorable little beans apart and meowing until you give her attention. She desperately wants to be a lap cat but she is just too nervous in her foster home and any noise would send her away. Fiona was bonded as much as she could be with an older cat whom she came to the house with when she was 6 months but that cat passed away in February. She also does not seem to mind the dog in her foster home, but the dog has always respected cats, is quite old, and does not pay much attention to the cats other than an occasional nose boop. I think she could get on with another cat if they were not the type to assert dominance but she may be happier without other pets. Fiona will hide when company comes. She would leap into the tiny windows in the basement or go under the bed. She would often hide even when there was no company. But she LOVES to look out windows and will chirp when she sees birds or other animals. It is common to get up and find her at night sitting looking out a window and it would be a rare time that she would be so comfortable that she would let her foster family sit near her and pet her for a little bit. She will catch mice with the best of them and she does like to be brushed. Fiona can be very playful and loves laser pointers too. Fiona is a silly cat who would not eat any special treats. Not tuna, not churros and no soft cat food. She wanted her hard kibble and her crunchy temptations treats. She is very vocal and would often have full conversations back and forth with her foster family. When she is comfortable with someone she does like pets from her head all the way to her tail and a good scratch around her neck. She has an elevator butt when getting pets. Fiona has never been a fighter. She will hide, flee or turn into a statue when afraid. Even when afraid she has always been good for the vet, solid as a rock and completely still but not violent and will let them do what they need to do without putting up a fuss. She is loud in the car meowing away. ##2275301##
