About Penelope
๐พ HI, I'M PENELOPE! ๐พ
I absolutely love pats. If your hand is within headbutting distance, it will be head butted. When my foster mum strokes my favourite place on the side of my neck, sometimes I just flop on the floor! I've progressed incredibly quickly in foster care and it didn't take me long to decide this place was safe and comfortable and that I love toys and exploring!
Now, we need to discuss something very important.
๐ FOOD. ๐
I love food so much that I once looked at my feeding tray and apparently thought, "You know what? This might also be food."
It was not food.
I ate part of it anyway.
This resulted in an overnight stay at the vet and my foster mum was beside herself with worry.
I was fine.
My main concern was:
When is dinner?
So, to my future family: do not leave food unattended. I will find it. I will eat it. Your dinner is my dinner. Your snacks are my snacks. Apparently even my feeding equipment is my snacks. I am not aggressive about it which I think is important to note. My foster mum is hoping with time that I will learn that my food will not just vanish as I was found a stray were food wasn't guaranteed.
I also apparently make an assortment of very strange meows.
As for other cats...the resident cat here is a bit crazy, and frankly, I could do without the drama. I might be happy with a calm, chilled-out feline companion who respects my personal space and could eat there dinner in one sitting ( the rc just grazes her food and I just don't get it ๐ค), but I would absolutely flourish as an only cat.
I can still get a little skittish if someone moves to quick. But I don't mind the loud coffee grinder in the morning when my foster parents make coffee. ๐คท
I might be shy at first but I will quickly warm up to you with love and patience.
P.S. Please get me a sturdy puzzle feeding tray.
