Small, Delightful, Curious

Babushka is extremely friendly. She adores giving and receiving affection. One of her favorite moves is to rub her face against your arm or hand. She is equally fond of getting her head pet. Even when not actively engaging with you, Babushka still prefers to be close to you. She will curl up on or near your lap. She even cuddles up to you during the night - a true total sweetheart!

A very curious girl, Babushka likes to follow the activity in the home. She really likes to know what is going on and she craves mental stimulation. A favorite activity of this adorable kitty is looking out the window. She loves watching everything. She is also a bit of an explorer who is always seeking out new and creative hiding spaces. Babushka may be older, but she plays with the verve of a younger feline! She prefers string toys and little balls or mice that she can kick around. She also loves a good scratching post and can entertain herself well with one.

Babushka gives the occasional chirp or peep. She will also meow at meal times to express her excitement for the impending food.

Babushka is currently in foster care with a resident cat. The two cats eat and nap together and even use litter boxes next to each other. Babushka would thrive with a friend, especially a younger one that can help her stay youthful! She doesn't have any known experience with either dogs or children. Given her easygoing nature, she would probably do well with calm canines and with children who are old enough to understand her boundaries.
