Tux – Female DSH

Tux and her siblings came into care as a litter of scared kittens who had no human contact. As soon as we entered their room there was lots of hissing and spitting and hiding to protect themselves from the big scary humans. But over time with lots of patience and love and quite a few creamy treats as bribery, Tux has worked out pats and treats are a winning combination and the hisses and such have disappeared.

With her confidence growing and trust in her carer, Tux has shown her true personality and she is is such a sweet happy little girl. Tux loves her brother Bosley and will play rough and tumble for hours before telling him she’s had enough and wants a nap. Her favourite toy is a purple wand given to her by her sponsor family along with a laser light, she loses her mind chasing the laser around the room and up the walls if she’s allowed.

When it’s meal time Tux greets her carer with a little dance around the room leading her to the mats where the food bowls sit and she allows herself to be picked up and kissed and as soon as the ear and back scratches start her purr can be heard in the next room. She’s also decided laps are great and will push her brother out the way to get best position.

It’s important to understand that due to the challenging start to life that “scaredies” go through, Tux will probably always have a timid side around strangers but once you show her patience and love to gain her trust as her person she will reward you as an incredibly loyal cat.

If you have the patience and understanding to give Tux the love and time to continue her progress to become even more confident.
