Gigi's Story

Gigi spends her day exactly how she wants to. She loves having a routine and will let you know if you are late for feedings by meowing, bumping into your legs, swatting the air near you, or simply giving you her stare of death. She does not like to be picked up and will let you know by loudly yelling, this will likely not change. She enjoys sleeping in her bed, but that is HER space. She does not want pets while she is sleeping and cozy. She will occasionally snuggle in a pile under blankets. She also does not want to be pet while she is there. She enjoys to self-play with sparkly pompom balls but does not want to engage in play with you, these are her toys, not yours.<br/><br/>Despite not wanting a lot of things, she actually does really love pets and snuggling. But strictly on her terms. Most of the time if you go in her room and sit down, she insists on sitting in your lap. Do not be fooled, this is not an invitation for a hug, you are simply furniture. While she is in your lap she will purr and make biscuits and you CAN pet her here. But don't get too crazy because she may bite you. (It's really just a nibble.)<br/><br/>Gigi does not enjoy fast movements, loud noises, or cat carriers. Although, her office mate has been doing really good work on desensitization to carriers and she will go in for a treat!<br/><br/>Gigi has a lot of trust issues, but once you earn her trust, it is magical.<br/><br/>Gigi's officemate has also been working on her tolerance to children by sacrificing her own child. We have found that if the child is quiet and respectful of Gigi's boundaries, she actually seems to enjoy them! Said child has helped with feeding her and will go in for visits and has been awarded the badge of "Gigi snuggler".<br/><br/>Gigi is an amazing cat, but she has been through a lot. If you're looking to adopt a lovable grump, she is the lady for you! <br/><br/>Gigi's adoption fee has been sponsored by BathWorks of Michigan!
