For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
She’s sugar and spice and beheaded toy mice… Bonbon is pure feline huntress energy!
Dainty Bonbon is a complex mix of sweet housecat and feisty wildcat. On the sweet side, she is a chatty, assertively friendly girl who enjoys spending time with her favorite people. She rubs against your legs and demands pets and attention with her adorable, raspy meow. She's very curious about whatever you're doing, and if there's food involved she will definitely insist that you pay the cheese tax.
In calmer moments Bonbon likes to cuddle up next to you, perhaps with her head or a paw resting on your leg. When you go to bed, she will happily fill any cat-sized nook between your ankles or under your arm. She certainly does not like closed doors; her insistent meows will announce that she wants to be where the people are!
On the feisty side, Bonbon has a high prey drive, lots of energy, and an insatiable curiosity for exploring. She's a smart girl who loves a challenge, be it a new puzzle ball feeder or learning to high-five for treats. But with her boundless energy, Bonbon gets easily bored and frustrated. This sometimes manifests as swatty or nippy behavior. Also, she can get overstimulated with too much petting, so her adopters will need to learn to read her cues and know when to give her space. Bonbon is happiest and on her best behavior after a long play session.
Bonbon's adopters will need to provide her with regular exercise and lots of intellectual stimulation in her environment. We think she would be thrilled if she had a safe outdoor space where she could patrol and hunt real varmints — she'd love a yard with a cat-proof fence, or to be out in a country home with some land where she can safely be an indoor-outdoor kitty. She could also enjoy life as a working cat at a barn or business.
