Lacey
Lacey is a 6-year female old muted (grey, white and orange) calico cat. She is neutered. I adopted her through the Wallowa County Humane Society as a small 6-month old kitten in 2015. She is fully vaccinated and dewormed.
Lacey is affectionate, and likes to curl up on my lap in the evenings when I’ reading or especially when I’m trying to use my laptop computer.
She is one of the smartest cats I’ve ever had or known.
She loves to chase the laser pointer. But far beyond that, she has figured out how to open the back door and let herself out (It has a lever handle.) (She seldom closes the door behind her, though.)
When we spent a winter in a cabin at Wallowa Lake, she became friends with the deer.
She would play games with the young deer, which included “Crouching Tiger’, in which she would crouch down and stalk one of the younger (6-month old) deer. The deer would run, Lacy would chase it, then the deer would stop and this game would repeat several times. She also became sufficientlyand would lead our hikes on the moraine, friends with one of the little deer that they would touch noses. (Videos of this should be on the Wallowa County Humane Society website)
She also watched my dog retrieve his ball and started retrieving a cat toy that I would throw for her. She also learned to walk on a leash, though we haven’t done that for several years.
Lacey is a ”talker” and will make her expectations (which are very high) known. She is a mostly indoor cat, but likes to go outside for short times, especially at night. She will say “thanks” when you open the door for her to let her back in.
Lacey is a bit of a finicky eater, and fastidious overall. Fortunately, her favorite food is Purina Naturals Cat Chow. She will eat canned cat food, but only a little at a time. In fact, she is not much of an eater. But she does like a bedtime snack.
Lacey is accustomed to dogs and their somewhat slovenly habits, but will also (cautiously) lie down with them. She generally doesn’t pay them much attention and is quite capable of letting them know that she does NOT want to be bothered. But she also will curl up with me and two dogs on the bed at night.
Lacey thinks of herself as a huntress when watching birds or squirrels or deer out the window. But in reality, I’ve never known her to catch any wild creature. Not even a deer. She’s never brought any “offerings” or “gifts” to me. And her toilet/litter-box habits in the house are without reproach.
In short, Lacey is:
- Muted calico (gray, white, orange) Neutered 6-year-old female, fully vaccinated and dewormed. (Double Arrow Vet Clinic)
- Smart, playful, and affectionate
- Fastidious and a cautious eater who like Purina Natural cat chow.
- Gets along well with dogs; not much of a hunter except when watching thru the window.
- Full veterinary records available.
