Mittens

Mittens: a quintessential purry lap cat who follows you around until you make a lap<br/><br/>Mitten’s story: I was left in a hot apartment in 100° weather; the landlord didn't even know I was up there. He was kind enough to allow Fitchburg Friends of Felines up to trap. It took a day but I finally went into that trap because I was scared and hissy at first and hiding. After a couple days at the foster home, though, I found my purr box!<br/><br/>The family that had me said I was having seizures. I was brought to the vet, and my blood test showed they were not lying. But I did not have one issue at the foster family's home. So I was retested a month later, and my numbers were back to normal. The vet said I could have had a reaction to what I ate or environmental. Regardless what was happening, it is not an issue anymore, and I am thrilled!<br/><br/>I am definitely a vocal type. I have the cutest mew, which does not sound like it is coming from me. I like my toys okay, but I would rather spend time following you around, purring, as a reminder that I am your shadow... so when you finally make that thing that you make when sit... aka: a lap... I AM ON IT! Literally... instantly... and I did not even let you get comfortable first! And I stay there for hours, so I hope you didn't drink a lot of coffee before you sat down!<br/><br/>I can be a nippy girl/kitten biter on occasion. When my foster was done petting me, I am not, I would hit her for more attention. I just love to be loved! But she started picking me up and putting me on the chair and giving me treats when she was done, and that works just fine! <br/><br/>I am a great purrer. In fact, that is all I do when you see me. I don't really stop purring. Maybe after a few hours, but then I am back purring. It's great!<br/><br/>I am a bit grouchy around other kitties. I hiss and growl, and sometimes move along. Other times, I hit. There is one kitty I like, but he doesn't like people. I am trying to show him people are great. He is a bit slow to learn. Men...<br/><br/>My ideal home would be someone with a lap. Laps are a must with me! Maybe someone home a lot, someone who works from home and doesn’t mind the company on their lap while they work, or a retiree? I would say a stay at home mom, but we all know they are never sitting in one place if kids are present.
