Babe  is such a good kitty!

 

She will meow hello to us when we come down to visit her in her room.  Babe  likes to nap behind the couch or on the windowsill where she can watch cat TV. She likes a good play session before dinner and I think that will help keep her happy in the long run. Her favorite toy is the wand toy and it is fun to watch her try and catch it on her scratching post. Notable second-favorite toys are purple sparkly string and a used ziptie.  She will also meow to tell us about new things and when she is excited for food. The vacuum cleaner and loud sudden noises will make her retreat, but she is quick to come out for pets and scratches. She is very affectionate and loves to be pet.  Babe  will head butt you or gently reach her paw up to your hand to bring it back closer for more pets. She will go onto your lap and flop over and rub her face into your arms and relax and purr away. She is a great snuggler on the couch, and she will put her paws up on your chest and nuzzle your face. She makes biscuits all the time, which can get a little pokey if her nails are long. I was able to trim her nails during a couch snuggle session pretty easily, and regular trimming will keep everyone comfortable.

 

Babe  is really good at using her litter box and loves crunchy treats. She has met the resident dog, and while the dog is VERY excited to be friends,  Babe  is less interested in friendship at this time. She basically just tries to ignore our dog as best she can. I think she would do fine with a cat friendly dog and a family who is willing to do slow introductions. She currently does not live with any cats. She tolerates being picked up but will try to get down after a little bit. 

 

She has attempted to scratch the couch a few times, but after reminders about her scratching post and we haven't felt it to be an issue. She leaves the shower curtain and hanging towels in her room alone. In the words of the foster husband (which coming from someone with no prior cat experience): "She is like the perfect cat, basically"
