Layla is a gorgeous, sweet 3 year old girl who loves to be pet! About Layla from her foster home:
How would you describe the cat's general personality? Layla is a very sweet girl who is a good communicator, letting you know when she does and does not want attention. She's a cuddlebug and loves a lap!
Does the cat enjoy being pet? Yes, and she will let you know by chasing down your hands.
If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? She likes getting pet on the chin and cheeks, and will tolerate the back and butt.
Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? She will flop onto her back, but she does not seem to enjoy getting belly rubs.
Does the cat come on your lap? Yes! She loves a lap.
Does the cat like to be held? She will make protesting meows when being picked up, but doesn't seem to be particularly aggressive or agitated, so I don't think she enjoys it, but she will tolerate it.
Does the cat sleep in your bed? Yes.
Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, but on her own terms.
Does the cat like to play? She does like a catnip banana, and she will show some interest in interactive toys if you give her some time, but she's not particularly rambunctious.
What are the cat's favorite games and toys? She likes rolling around on catnip and gnawing on her banana. She also has a puzzle feeder to prevent her from eating too quickly.
How vocal is the cat? She's pretty quiet overall.
What kinds of sounds does the cat make? She likes to make these soft meows when she wants attention or when she wants to protest something that you've done.
Does the cat scratch a scratcher? She does not seem to be interested in the cardboard scratchers I have around the house.
If no, please explain. She seems to be much more interested in the rugs instead.
Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes.
What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? She is getting wet food twice a day and dry food in her puzzle feeder once a day.
Is the cat picky about food? She seems a bit more picky about wet food than dry food, and she doesn't always clean her wet food bowl all the way before demanding new food in it. I have had some luck with Reveal wet food along with Purina Cat Chow Naturals for the dry food.
What is the cat's favorite treat? She likes Greenies.
Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? No.
Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? No.
Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? She will nip occasionally if your hands move too close to her face or when she overstimulates herself from licking hands or getting pet.
Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No.
To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? She seems to enjoy meeting new people and getting all the attention that comes with that. She is overall a very social and confident cat.
Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? She will let out little, protesting meows when you move from a position she does not approve of. She also loves flopping onto her side and rolling around on her back. She also likes to lick hands, which is also cute.
In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle, but she's also happy to wander off and do her own thing. Overall, she's a very lazy, mellow cat.
What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? She will hiss when she's uncomfortable and unsure, which can be surprising to hear after dealing with other cats. It will be important to pay attention to her boundaries and to listen to what she's telling you. She also dislikes certain noises (like the sound of my heater vents) and will become agitated by them, though she has calmed down somewhat with exposure.
