Liana Domestic Short Hair East Hartford, CT

Me: Your relationship with “Lili” will most likely begin with a big hiss from a very small cat.

Lili: Tell them it’s because I’m timid and it won’t happen once I know them.

Me: What else do you want them to know?

Lili: I’m very sensitive – to bright light, loud or sudden noise, new smells, etc.

Me: Yes, you like to hide when you’re overwhelmed but you always come out when you’re ready.

Lili: And I love to play with floor toys and some wand toys. I like to pounce and bat at things. I’m really a fun cat. Oh, another thing I love is having my head petted! It makes me purr. It’s a favorite thing.

Me: I love petting you. I also love your eyes, your willingness to trust after being through so much, and your DERPS (when you stick your tongue out after smelling something icky, like my coffee-breath). You are a wonderful, sweet, little kitty.

Lili: Thanks. I just need a furrever home with a patient person who can give me a bit of time and a cozy safe space for me to chill when there’s stuff that startles me.

Me: Do you think if we had more time that you might become a lap cat?

Lili: I’m not sure. I like napping near you and I like being touched, so it’s possible but I’m not there yet.

Me: I understand. Personally, I think you’re an amazing and delightful cat just as you are!
