Parsley

Description

Hi, I’m Parsley, a tuxedo girl with a gentle heart. If you stand still and hold out your hand, there’s a good chance I’ll walk right over to sniff you and accept some head scratches. I’m polite like that. I’m not wild about being held, but sitting next to you? That’s my love language. I like to ease my way closer—first a paw on your leg, then my chest, and before you even realize what’s happening, I’ve settled myself right onto your lap. It’s a slow, sweet takeover, and I do it with pride. I’m also extremely committed to sitting between you and your keyboard. If you’re trying to work, I’ll be right there, purring loudly, insisting that I’m far more interesting than whatever you’re typing. I consider it my job. And when someone swings a wand toy—feather, bug, anything fluttery—I light right up. I love to play, especially when it’s interactive and we can enjoy it together. If you’re looking for a cat who shows affection in her own thoughtful way, loves companionship, and believes your keyboard is her personal throne, I’m Parsley. I’d love to claim a spot in your life. Estimated Birthdate: 4/17/2025 Foster Update:  Week One:  Parsley hid at first but kept coming out to explore.  She followed me around a lot but didn't seem to want much affection and struggled to be let go if she felt restrained.  She loved playing with the flying feather toy.  Later in the week she would sit next to me on the couch with her paws and chest on my lap.   Week two:  She loves watching TV with me and after putting her paws and chest on my lap will crawl completely on my lap.  She has a very nice purr.  Her favorite place is between me and my laptop keyboard.  She really purrs like crazy when curled up there. There are times when Parsley seems a little standoffish (especially with new people), but if you stand still and put your hand down, there's a good chance she'll come over for some head scratches.  The way to her heart is to play with her with a toy bug on a string. She is an amazing girl who deserves someone who will play with her and love her.   PS:  You can also make friends with Parsley by offering her a small piece of cheese......she absolutely loves cheese.
