Cynthia

Cynthia is friendly, playful and tolerant. She is a bit shy when you first meet her, but once you get to know each other you’ll have a friend for life. She is playful and loving – both of humans and other cats. She’s quite curious and will happily play by herself or with others. She is talkative and likes to be around humans and know where you are in the house. She's used to children so would be a great family pet. Cynthia needs a home with either another cat to play with, or someone home for the majority of the time. She loves to play with her little toy mouse and gumnut and throw them around for ages! She loves to be patted, particularly on the cheeks, but will need some initial time to get to know you, which is perfectly normal with any cat anyway. Her favourite sleeping place is right at the end of your bed, keeping your toes nice and warm. :-)

2. Would prefer a home without children?
Cynthia’s foster home has two older children. We think she would be okay with younger children once she got to know them.

3. A home with lots of activity, some activity, quiet atmosphere?
Cynthia is used to a more peaceful home and quieter atmosphere.

4. Someone needs to be home all day, part of the day, evenings?
Cynthia is okay to be left during the day, however she has grown used to having the other cats around and me working part time from home – so she might experience some anxiety transitioning to being a only cat home alone for long periods of time.

5. How many hours a day did you leave the animal alone and how did they react?
We are quite busy on the weekends and in and out of the house during the day. Cynthia is fine with this. She has also been okay with being left with the other cats as I’ve started to transition back to work.

6. What other animals has the cat lived with and how did they get along?
Cynthia has been living with two other cats since September/October – Baxter (3yrs) and Luna (1yr). Cynthia absolutely loves being around other cats and would be well suited to a home with another cat. After the initial period of settling in all three cats get along and have lots of fun play fighting and chasing each other around the house.

7. Favourite toys?
A small fake mouse and a gumnut

9. Used to patting, brushing, being picked up and cuddled?
Once she gets to know you, Cynthia loves being patted – especially on the cheeks; and will come and sleep on the end of your bed. She’s not totally comfortable being picked up, but that would definitely change once she trusted you..

10. List 3 good qualities and 3 qualities that need improvement.
Good qualities: Loving, playful, talkative
Needs improvement: Sharing a litter box with other pets, scratching the sofa (but responds well to verbal warnings), giving other cats personal space

11. Anything else you’d like to add?
Cynthia is such a pretty girl and would make her furever family very happy with her happy and friendly nature.
