My story

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

She likes to roam the room at night. Her favorite day time spots are on a chair, the bottom shelf, the window and her most favorite spot is her cubby.
She is a very sweet but shy girl. She likes to be sang to, soft little songs.
If you blink softly at her she will blink softly back at you. She doesn't mind being petted and likes her checks scratched.
