About Dolly
Dolly is a unique girl who'll capture your heart in so many ways. She spends a lot of time in the bathroom nudging a tub of water until it spills and then delightfully watches the water trickle for ages. But when it comes to her wobble treat dispenser, her tapping skills come to a halt as she will eagerly wait for her carer to dispense the treats she desperately wants. If you have a feather collection, make sure it's locked away because Dolly loves feathers and will eat every single one, if allowed. Her adventures continue with finding random things on shelves or the floor to play with despite having many toys, otherwise she also enjoys being talked to, string toy and laser light play, gazing out the window and playing endlessly with the household pet cat. However, when it comes to the loud vacuum, you can usually find her hiding underneath the bed covers.
As for Dolly's most adored attributes, she is always first to run and greet her carer. She'll jump on the bed for pats, although is not keen on being picked up. In the mornings, she waits for her carer to wake up so she can indulge in more pats. You'll know when Dolly is in her mood because her tail will puff up as she walks back and forth, while making biscuits and purring - all in between getting more pats. Over time she's progressed to now enjoying gentle head, neck, chin and ear rubs too. Occasionally Dolly will also reach out with her paw and tap you when she wants something. On rare occasions, Dolly has been found napping on the bed between her carer's feet.
Dolly will initially be timid and doesn't like loud noises. As such, it would be recommended that Dolly would suit a small, quiet family. For extra affection and attention she may prefer a family with children who are older and can understand her body language when she doesn't like something. If Dolly will be left on her own during the day, then a pet companion that can keep her busy would be ideal. Dolly is litter trained, although hasn't been introduced to animals other than cats.
