Costello

Hello, my name is Costello, I’m the middle child but I don’t let that get to me. I was born on the first Sunday of December in my foster carer’s bedroom in the tower right next to her bed. I love to play, and I love getting snuggles from my foster parents, but only a little bit please because I have lots of things to do. When I’m a little older I might want longer cuddles. I do love to curl up on the bed and have a nap near you though with you tickling my belly, so please I hope you’d let me on it. I’m more independent from my siblings and tend to set my own routine, I’m happy to sleep by myself when I’m sleepy, or keep playing when the others have gone down for a nap. I don’t need to do what everyone else is doing.

My favourite toy is a little rattly mouse that I can bat around and hold in my mouth. I love the rattly wands, and crunchy toys, and stretchy ones too! I’ve seen the laser pointer but I’m pretty smart and know it comes from the machine, so I spend more time looking into the light than for it, so my foster mum doesn’t let me play with it anymore.

My mum and I are Tonkinese crosses, so we’ve got that lithe oriental body shape which means I will probably be a smaller but longer cat than you’re used to. I’m also what they call a “flame point” which makes me sound super cool. It means my ears, my feet, my tail, and a little bit around my nose is flame coloured! I’ve been told I will keep darkening until I’m about a year, but once I reach that I should be pretty much set in my colour. I wonder how dark I might go?

I currently live with a big canine foster brother, and he doesn’t bother me one bit. As long as any canine sibling I might have will leave me to do my own thing we will get along just fine. If he tries to chase me, I won’t like that at all. I’ve also met children and they don’t phase me either, but please let them know I don’t want to be picked up all the time and would much prefer if they played with the toys with me instead.

Because I have a bucket load of energy at this age, I will need someone to be home to keep me amused often, alternatively if I have a feline sibling to keep me company that would also be acceptable. Please don’t leave me for long periods of time for the first few months until I’m sleeping more through the day (about 2 months).
