Charlie was quite temperamental when she first came to us, apparently one of the reasons she was signed over, her owner was scared of her. – Not selling her very well are we? This was all exacerbated by the fact she had been kept as an indoor cat, which for some who are desperate to get out and about into the big wide world is just too much for them to bear, increasing their aggression levels. So you can imagine when she was then taken to a cattery to live in an even smaller space, surrounded by other cats this didn’t help to much either. So Charlie was taken to a foster home where, after an initial settling in period, she was allowed to start exploring outside.
Charlie is now, after several months of being in a foster home, a changed cat. She is quite an independent cat, ideal for someone who works all day and wants someone who will be more than happy being left to their own devices. She loves being able to go out and explore her surroundings, she even has her foster mom so well trained that she will let her know when she wants to go, even just to pop out for the loo. Charlie is a very playful cat, she loves to bat balls around and chase bits of string, you’re sure to tire of the game before she does. After a busy day out and about, she likes to come in and snuggle down next to the radiator, and when it’s time for bed, she will snuggle up next to your legs and on very cold nights she will even get under the duvet with you.
Charlie will still pat your hand away when she is done with being stroked, but not in a malicious way, she isn’t going to be suitable for a home with children or other pets, but surely she is going to be just right for someone looking for an affectionate, yet independent cat, who will take your coming and going all in their stride.
