Meowza!
I figured I might as well introduce my cat if I already started out here. Her name is Zóra and she is 6 years old. She is a mixed breed and her origin is unknown. I took her home from my granny's and she was a wild cat.
What's she like?
She has a skinny body type. Although she has been sterilised, she hasn't gain much weight. She looks really fit compared to a lot of other cats I've seen who have had the surgery.
She is a scaredy-cat. Whenever someone new comes to visit, she vanishes for a while. She senses from a mile away if the person coming to visit is someone she knows or not. When she knows a person then she seeks for attention, but she still doesn't let anyone pet or touch her. Not even me...
Although there is one special time of the day when she opens up to me and that is when I go to bed. You see, she as a habit to lick my arm when I'm in bed. She does it for like 10 minutes and that is kind of the only time when she lets me pet herself too.
I was curious about what the licking thing means and so I've read online it may be a sign of affection. It's a memory a cat has from being licked by her own mother, so it can make her feel safe to do so to humans. Cats lick and groom eachother to strenghten their social bonds.
Isn't she a beauty?
