Echidna is a beautiful grey female with the faintest hint of spots and stripes. Like her sisters hedgehog and porcupine, she was previously feral, but is now cautiously friendly and affectionate. She startles at unfamiliar noises, but is doing well with common household noise. She will hide from strangers. She is the most nervous of the bunch and is very wary of being approached and does not tolerate being held. She does love being a pet on her terms. This usually occurs when seated on the couch in the quiet hours of the evening. She will nudge your feet or legs and purr loudly and will accept pets and tummy rubs. Recently, she has been approaching me in the mornings with quiet meows and will even let me reach down to pet her while I'm standing. She desperately needs other cats. She always sleeps with her sisters and she will look for them if they get seperated. She would do well in a home with one of her sisters or with other friendly cats. Her favorite toy is a hairband or plastic ring toy, but she also likes a good stick toy. She needs an understanding person who is willing to take it slow and get to know her, but I do think she will make a loving companion for the right person.
