The Cat Doc
Thank you for watching over me while my pops travels! I think weāre going to have a great time & here are some helpful things to know about me.
TLDR
- Most Adorable Cat Award Recipient š
- Looove being pet inside my ears
- Has a minor case of wobbly cat syndrome where Iām a bit uncoordinated. Otherwise Iām a lot like other cats!
- Makes a mess around the litter box
Health & Safety Stuff š©ŗ
- The vets say I have a very minor case of Cerebellar Hypoplasia [CH] or āwobbly catā meaning Iām a little uncoordinated.
- The good news is that I donāt hop on counters (aka counter surfing), but this also means I wonāt jump directly on your lap if youāre sitting in an office chair. Instead, I feel more comfortable pulling myself up by digging my claws into your pants and walking over your keyboard. Jeans can be recommended.
- With my condition, itās recommended that my nails remain untrimmed so I can build strength climbing on all the things. Thereās this spray Iām not a fan of so Iāll avoid those areas.
- My left eye gets a little runny and thatās okay per my last vet visit.
- Oh! Also, I like to play with and around doors. I can open the doors inside the house.
- I might try to go outside. Iāve become less curious by the āgreat outdoorsā but my inner longing to roam the savannah may arise once again.
Cute Stuff š»
- I think Iām a Calico Ragdoll? Not sure, I just know Iām cute.
- Casually practices dressage or ballet when Iām playful, which is often. I love those cat toy balls with a metal jingle inside, oh my! And thereās this wand with different attachments. Love love love!
- Will playfully paw at your feet when Iām having zoomies.
- Mainly trills vs meows as meowing is a catās yelling. Good thing I was told this early in my life so I can have long lasting healthy vocal cords!
- Very much a lap cat and like sleeping on a hoo-manās stomach/chest and neck area. Sorry if I step on your trachea š¬
- Likes Cat TV and looking outside.
General Handling & Notes š«¶
- Like a lot of feline friends, Iām quite independent & want pets only some of the time & on my terms. I love the inside of my ears scritched, the middle of my face & nose area where Iāll probably blep, and my chin/cheeks scratched. Once Iāve had too much, Iāll either lick you as a thanks or go about my business.
- Not a fan of being picked up and will protest everytime. Weāre trying to get used to it.
- Although I sleep in my carrier from time to time, Iām quite astute if youāre trying to get me to go into the carrier. I donāt like closed off spaces even if itās for my own safety. I know I get tricked with food/churu in a bowl toward the back where Iāll take a bite and back out. Let the games begin!
- For litter, I make an absolute mess with litter around the box⦠sorry š„ŗ
- For other cats, Iāve been around a few different cats & kittens with different degrees of success. Itās all about the vibes and you canāt describe vibes in words iykyk yk?
- Iāve gone through about 4 collars that I refuse to keep on. Iām persistent and know what I like.
Food & Water š¦š
- Iāll be on kitten food until ~September 2023. But I think Iām an adult!
- Iām used to eating 3 meals a day where breakfast (9AM) & lunch (3PM) are dry food and dinner (9PM) is half a can of wet food with some dry food. I love Churu and am used to licking it off hands as I just want to bite the tube out of excitement. Chomp munch nom nom nosh. Did I mention I have a great sense of time where Iāll persuade you to feed me a bit earlier?
- I prefer water from surfaces so youāll find me hopping in the shower as soon as youāre done. Or sometimes Iāll just hop in there hoping thereās that sweet sweet water droplet.
