My story

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

My foster writes:
Miss Chiquita is every anxious millennial's soul sister. Chiquita grew up too fast after having kittens when she was quite young, and she's now ready for her turn to be babied. Chiquita is not just looking for someone to adopt her, but to understand her. She approaches swiftly with purpose; locking in with her soft green gaze and deep, mesmerizing purrs. Careful though! If she gets overstimulated, she will let you know with a gentle (or somewhat abrasive) pap to the hand. Chiquita is a girl who knows what she wants and what she wants is to be involved; don't try sweeping or reorganizing or existing without her slightly judgmental presence. The FOMO is real. If you're looking for the simplest cat, perhaps the orange males are a better fit (no shade). With Chiquita you will need a bit of patience and time to understand what she does and does not like, but you will be taught often and early. Once you get to know each other, Chiquita will be a loyal and unconditionally affectionate companion for life.

Chiquita interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience, demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior.
