Cat of the day is Abigale

Siblings are: Krobus, Junimo, and Joja

Cat of the days is J

Cat of the days is Junimo
This sweet girl loves to play and be pet! Her hair is so shiny and smooth you’ll never want to stop petting her and she would be okay with that! She is a sister to Krobus who you met yesterday and Abigale and Joja who you’ll meet in the next 2 days. All of them would be great as pairs or on their own. She can take a second to warm up to new people but, a couple of toys and she’ll be unable to resist!
