Tara The Tortie

Tara the Tortie is a very intelligent cat. She can open doors (with lever type door handles). She is used to being an indoor only cat but does know how to use a pet door to go out into a secured, enclosed cat cage or cat run.

Tara likes to play with her toys, and can even play fetch if you hold up a toy and say “ready” then throw it, she will chase it, and even return it to you if you say “bring it here”. She likes water, in terms of she likes to wash her paws in a small basin or in a shallow bathtub of water. She likes to climb into bags and boxes. She knows lots of words and phrases. She is more familiar with “excuse me” when she is being naughty rather than “no”.

She is a very expressive cat, is very talkative and will vocalise different moods. She likes to show she loves you with head-bumps and nudges, licking you, and little nibbles/love-bites. She likes to be where you are and sit on the couch with you and have cuddles. She doesn’t like being picked up much, she would prefer to jump up on your lap when she feels like it. She would suit an owner who is home frequently, as she doesn’t like to be left alone for long periods.
