Meet Circe
This is what Circe’s mom has to say about her: “Looking for a cat that is as obsessed with you as you are with her? Look no further!
Circe is ready to give you as many snuggles, purrs, kisses and head boops as you can possibly handle. I am not exaggerating. If your hand is tired from petting her, she will take over by rubbing herself all over you. She will give you kisses until you ask her to stop. To Circe, you are a sweet little tiny baby who is deserving of all of the love in the world, and she is more than happy to give it to you.
Circe is a chatty girl with a wide range of sounds. When she first moved in, she would make the teeniest chirps you ever heard! Now that she is comfortable, she has a full range of noises, and often does small meows throughout the house to get your attention for pets, or to let you know where she is. Her incoming food scream is the closest I have personally heard a cat come to a foghorn--it's ridiculous, and cracks me up every time. (Note: She does not do the incoming food scream at any other time--she will meow to get food earlier, but it's not a full yell like the incoming food scream.)
Circe gets along with the other cats in the home for the most part (her grouchy senior foster sister doesn't like her), but she does not independently play or interact with them yet. As a part of a cat colony, I think she would do very well with other friendly cats, but people are definitely her favourite. Even so, if she is not expecting to be pet she flinches immediately at a raised hand/unexpected movement, so her family will need to be mindful of that. She is fine with our big, lazy Great Pyrenees, but would likely be scared by more active dogs.
Even with three cats and a dog in the house, Circe has NEVER had an accident outside of the litterbox, and has NEVER tried to escape back into the great outdoors! She has had a taste of the good life inside, and wants to make it stick. The only thing missing is her forever home.
As Circe is from a local colony, she does have some "outdoor" habits you will need to be willing to work with:
-Jumping on countertops
-Strong "sharing is caring" attitude when it comes to human food
-Trying to get the food before you put it in the bowl (Who has the time to wait?)
-Hating the cat carrier (Don't put me in a box!)
-Fear of wand toys (Why are you flinging that THING at me!?)”
