When, Where and How I Got My Cat
I'm not sure if she is 100% Egyptian Mau, but she has most of the characteristics. We got her as a kitten from a no-kill animal shelter.
I'd Describe My Cat As…
She is EXTREMELY curious and smart. She would get into everything when she was kitten, like getting stuck in drawers because she was just so curious. She especially loves when the computer prints and when I run the copier.
I trained her to come up and give me kisses when I ask "Do you want to give me a kiss?" And then I reward her with snacks.
She is not a mean cat but would bite us alot when she was a kitten and still has a tendency to do so if we pick her up or pet her when she doesn't want to be pet.
She rubs up against us and stretches with her paws on our legs when we're standing.
She loves to play and loves when I make the bed!
She is the most beautiful cat I have ever seen. Everybody that sees her always talks about how beautiful she is. Her markings are symmetrical on either side of her body and her coat is short and extremely soft!
Inca doesn't have any medical problems and is very healthy.
Advice
