Allessa likes to play with cats, likes her nose rubbed at night before bed, loves to hunt crickets in the evening, and has shown concern for her owner by putting her head on her knee when she is not feeling well. She has 2 beds that rotates between depending on if she wants to curl up or stretch out. She is cautious and will startle at sudden movement or noise at times <br/><br/>Will come when called by name and nickname Allessa/ Sasa<br/><br/>Favorite toys/activities: small bunny toy, tennis balls <br/><br/>Bad habits (jumps fences, aggression, etc.): loves to chase our cats- they chase back <br/><br/>What type of discipline used: just tell her no, easy, or drop it. <br/><br/>Lived with children?
