Onyx is a sweet, loving girl. She does have a quieter, shyer personality and will take time to open up. Once she does get comfortable, she has just the sweetest personality. She enjoys being patted and will reward you with a soft, gentle purr. Cats can live up to 20 years, you need to consider this when adopting and choosing the age of the cat you wish to adopt to give them a lifelong, stable home as you are making a commitment for the lifetime of the animal.
