Minnie is a sweet, loyal cat looking for a peaceful and stable home where her main (or only) human is female, and with one or no other cats. She is very timid around men and the reality that she may never fully trust men needs to be factored in before adopting her. She is fantastic with gentle dogs who are comfortable around cats.
When relaxed, secure and comfortable, Minnie is loving, vocal, playful and very engaged. She loves giving head-to-head bonks, follows her human around the house chatting and likes to sleep alongside you (or close by) overnight. She constantly sprawls herself at your feet and stares up with her big sparkly eyes asking for neck scratches (her fav!). She enjoys being scooped upside down like a baby into your arms while you give her neck scratches and talk to her, she closes her eyes and blisses out to the affection. Minnie likely has oriental mixed with DSH. She shows behaviours common to the breed, including bonding closely to one human, intelligence, thrives with lots of stimulation and undivided attention etc. Minnie knows her name (when it suits her, of course) and can quickly learn house rules and verbal cues - she's a clever girl and very attuned to the world around her, which does make her a sensitive soul.
Minnie is not suitable living with young kids, young/boisterous teenagers or high-intensity dogs as she's sensitive to unpredictability. Despite trying countless products, environmental changes, behavioural training, vet advice etc Minnie has sadly not adjusted in a happy or comfortable way to the lively energy and dynamics between my other pets at home (which is understandable given it's a bustling home of dogs and cats!). She has the potential to bond with a new cat in the right circumstances.
Given she is very timid around new people/new environments, a trial period is likely the only way to get to know her at a comfortable pace. Minnie would require patience and gentle love, but once you gain her trust, and in the right environment, she transforms into the most beautiful companion and her gorgeous personality will be able to shine. I love her dearly and would always take her back no questions asked if a trial didn't work out, or if circumstances changed down the track. I would require a quick house inspection before beginning a trial. Please reach out for more info about beautiful Minnie.
