Video's as promised

I left the last post saying I'd update with videos the next day. I wasn't sure how much traffic would trot on over so I've left it a few days hoping the big pimp out about how special this kitten is might get some calls.

NADA, NOTHING, ZIP, DIDDLY SQUAT *WHY!!!*

I mean I get that she's now quite a bit bigger than a little 8 week old kitten but she is still kind of small and also becoming more and more of a cheeky little devil (Sweetheart).

I'd still rather she found a home sooner rather than later. She does get along with my cats fairly well but the newness of another kitty has worn off and both Leo and Terra are beginning to get a bit over her. They seek time out on the upstairs side of the house since she prods them whether they are awake or asleep and often has to be hissed and swatted at to stop pestering them.

*It also does not help that despite best upbringing both Leo and  Terra are quite the nervous, whimpy 'ooh-a-small-fluffy-kitten-is-annoying-me! MUM!!! help me!' kind of cats. If anything I think she's helping them build some character.

Along with this Cleo has kind of decided that I'm hers. She's got one rude awakening coming because Leo's my cat and he doesn't share...well not forever. She now constantly follows me around (when she's not pestering Leo and Terra or playing with toys), She seeks out my lap and despite best attempts to train her to Laptop etiquette she's determined to add her own flair or press buttons that should not be pressed.

She is still a bit concerned around males but she will play with them and often grudgingly lets them pat or pick her up. She'll play with anyone who'll drag string around.

If you feed her you quickly become her best friend and she makes it difficult to walk anywhere weaving between your feet.

Here are the previously promised videos.
In this one Leo's like NEW KITTEN (Flirt) and all 'play with me'. This one gives a rough idea of her size compared to a ever getting closer to 3 year old resident cat.

Cleo getting a bit of the stares from Leo and Terra. Early video when she was interesting now the two bigger cats couldn't care less and often walk the other way.... Sooks.
Cleo showing her cheeky semi-submissive (only while you're looking then I'll prod you when you look away). Another early video of the introduction of these kitties.
Cleo being in a cuddly mood early on voluntarily hopping up onto my lap, purring away and then persistently trying to eat whatever's left in my cereal bowl on the side table despite being told no....


Hope you enjoy, please spread the word. PLEASE. Cleo needs her forever family so she can truly bond with someone that's not already owned by a cat. I believe she'd be fine with other cats but also fine by herself. She still does need an adjustment period but in three-ish weeks she's changed so much that I'm sure she'd adjust to every situation.

Please call the Portland RSPCA and inquire about Cleo or Kim's Foster Kitten. I'm happy for them to call me and arrange a meeting at the shelter. She is spayed and microchipped so if you decide she's what you're after she can go home once her adoption fee is paid.

*Fingers Crossed*
