Meet Coco

 This is Coco

We got her a year ago from a local animal welfare charity. She was so shy and nervous when we got her. She didn't like to climb or jump up, even onto the windowsill. She seemed afraid of doing these things. She didn't meow or wash herself. The charity were vague about her background and we wondered if it was an animal cruelty case, they can't share details when that is the situation.

Gradually her confidence has built up and now she'll jump up onto our bed even when we are there. She still rarely meows, but she does wash herself (thankfully).

She's a little fluffy treasure. Very fluffy. She really doesn't like being brushed so we have to brush her in stages. Even if she just sees the brush she legs it, haha.

She's not a lap cat. We are hoping that one day she will sit on our lap and that at the moment it is still a confidence thing. But time will tell.

Her favourite way of greeting us and sleeping is to lie on her back. But woe betide anyone who dares to stroke or scratch her belly! She has a strong bite (which I discovered at the vets one time, she bit right through my nail!).

We have grown to love her so much, she is a beautiful cat. She has what we call 'mad half hours' each evening where she clatters up and down the stairs like crazy. She doesn't seem to like chasing various cat toy balls we have bought, but does love a piece of ribbon that she will attack happily.

Little toe beans

She loves to sit on the windowsill in the living room and cackle at the birds outside. The birds are very active at the moment as Spring approaches, so this pleases her very much haha.

So that's Coco, our little kitty-cat.

Hope your week is going well.
