Story
Margo has been in our home since she was a kitten, however a number of changes have made her very unhappy and we think that rehoming her is the best option. We have other cats and her 2 buddies unfortunately passed away over the last 18 months, and she has become more reclusive since then. One of our other cats and she also get into spats more now that her protectors are gone. She really is a sweet cat but she definitely has some of the siamese crazy in her. She will act desperate for pets and almost get herself overexcited then swipe at you for petting her. The trick is to just watch her body language for the warning signs, and let her come to you for attention. I believe she would do best in a quiet household without kids as she can be very skittish to loud, sudden sounds. We do have dogs and she doesn't run and hide from them, but she isn't necessarily a fan as they can be energetic. Her buddies that passed were sweet, laidback older boys so she may do well with similar.
