Mouse

Mouse is a queen amongst kitty cats. She assumes her rightful place above her loyal servants (other cats and/or humans). She may be the smallest but everyone bows down to her.

This sleek tabby teenager (soft and fluffy underside) alternates between bouts of wild independent energy and purry bliss moments which can extend for hours. That purr is loud and barely takes a touch to set off.

She is affectionately named 'the limpet' due to her desire to curl up next to the closest cat or in human arms when she's ready for a rest from play. Mouse came from the cattery all by herself but now loves the company of others. They generally quite enjoy her company too, although the cats do tire a little when she repeatedly body slams them in wrestling bouts. She would probably get on quite well with dogs, although untested.

She is an independent little explorer and doesn't mind being held when she's in the right mood, although if she is not she will use your body as a springboard to jump away. Her favourite saying as she dances away out of reach is "you're not the boss of me!". So she would be fine with older kids but maybe not ideal for very young kids. She does often acknowledge that even though you are not the boss of her, she would actually like to curl up in your arms now, so please oblige.

All things considered, this one is a keeper.
