My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FOSTERED IN: Lockport, IL 60441
ESTIMATED DOB: 01/2019
COLOR/BREED: Tabby and White Shorthair
GENDER: Female
KIDS: Unknown
DOGS: Unknown
CATS: Some

HISTORY:
Carrot was found as a stray.

ABOUT:
What is Carrot’s favorite toy, you ask? Her own tail. Really. Silly Carrot likes to chase her own tail. She generally prefers to play by herself, so playing with your own tail is one way to make that happen. Carrot is being fostered with other cats and she enjoys playing with the resident kitten and passive male, but regularly butts heads with the resident dominant male. She prefers to do the initiating of interaction with the other cats so she will be happiest with cats who can understand and respect that. Carrot is generally outgoing with strangers and guests and has no problem coming right up to them to introduce herself. She will often just plop herself right on their lap with no warning. She doesn’t really understand the concept of personal space when it comes to humans. When her foster mom gets in bed she will wait for her to get settled and then plop herself right on her foster mom’s chest reeeaalllyyy close to her face. If you’re doing something she doesn’t appreciate she will give you a little grumble (can’t we all appreciate some clear communication in life?). Carrot loves attention, without being needy. She’s content to nap or entertain herself during the day while you are at work, but would love to sit on/near you while you binge watch your new favorite show. She’s also a big fan of going to bed early if that’s your thing.
