Things pet likes:

Toys- loves tall scratchers, likes to play with just about any toy (really likes mice and small balls)
Activities- loves perching in windowsills, likes napping in a pile of blankets, likes to play with one of our other cats (male), likes to cuddle and is very affectionate, she gets the zoomies often and runs like crazy, she likes more enclosed beds, likes to chase flies around the house lol, she likes to follow you around and will sometimes get under foot (she’s quick, so you have to watch where you’re going), she likes to explore (she has ran into our garage a handful of times)
Food- she gets Iams indoor dry cat food, she is very vocal for food (and will try to get you to feed her every time you get near her food dish)

Things pet doesn’t like:

She doesn’t get along with our female cats (2) (they don’t like her and I don’t know why). Sometimes she is skittish around my boyfriend (I think it’s due to her previous living situation). She doesn’t like the vacuum, but is fine with other loud noises like a coffee grinder and blender. She doesn’t like the ground cardboard scratchers.

Please describe how your pet reacts around strangers

She’s definitely shy around strangers.

Positive qualities pet has:

She’s adorably affectionate, loves pets and cuddling, she’s so sweet, she’s pretty smart (figured out how to get treats out of a bird toy that my other cats didn’t know how to), she is litter box trained

Reason for rehoming pet

My other cats try to attack her when she is not sequestered 🙁 she doesn’t provoke them. I have tried to curb this issue, but nothing has worked so far.

Kind of home pet needs

Cleo deserves a good home with people that adore her and give her the respect and affection she requires. Ideally, a home that has another cat (she’s been good with my male cat) so she’s not bored. A home with many windows and perches for her to look outside, many beds and blankets for her to nap in, and toys galore. Ideally a bigger house so she can run all around. I think she would do well with older children and a less stressful environment. She should always be indoors (no indoor/outdoor free roaming).
