This quirky little girl has the sweetest disposition! Initially shy, she gladly accept pets and loves affection. But, she can startle easily if you catch her off guard. Ava is very treat motivated and – though she's not a lap cat – she will jump onto your lap if you have a few treats handy. She doesn't like to be held, but she is very happy to sit beside you and enjoys you petting her luxurious fur. Ava also likes to lounge in her kitty condo in the window, watching the birds, lizards and butterflies activities. Occasionally she'll pop up, and rush to the sliding glass door, to "hunt" a lizard scooting across the patio. When it's play time, she has kitten-like energy and loves her wand toys! She's very vocal and will remind you when it's time to rest and when is time to play with her!
