Likes: Singing, cuddles, catnip toys, treat tubes, making biscuits
Dislikes: Sudden noises, having her back feet touched, being ignored

Personality: Susan is a very sweet girl. She is super laid back and happy to keep herself occupied, but is also always down for a cuddle sesh and loves to lay on a lap when one is available. Bonus: In the kitchen, she makes an excellent sous-chef who keeps a respectable distance while offering constant and loud feedback, no matter what you`re making.
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? I kept Susan to one bedroom for the first few days and then let her explore the house at her own pace. It`s a pretty small house but it took about a week before she reached the living room and another few days before she was brave enough to get up on the couches. It took another week or so before I saw her playing with her toys for the first time. She`s still a little nervous sometimes but I would say overall about 2-3 weeks before she really starts to open up.
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? She`s a gummy gal! She will rub her mouth on almost anything and enjoys a little chin/jaw massage every so often to relieve the itchiness. Sometimes after a messy meal, she needs her chin wiped with a tissue. According to my roommates, she is developing some separation anxiety and crying a lot when I leave the house.
