Igloo is a fluffy girl who is an extremely deep sleeper. She has given her fosteror multiple shocks due to how still she keeps when she takes naps and how difficult it is to wake her up (much like waking a toddler up for school)… she also likes to smoosh herself against the sides of a cage/ carrier in silly positions (great for pictures!) Recently she has learned the art of falling asleep while sitting down. You can observe her sitting on her butt and being still for a while before her head slowly sinks to the ground for a nap. Very entertaining.
When she is awake, Igloo is an active and inquisitive girl who loves exploring and climbing. If a hideout is flat enough, she might even climb on top of the hideout to explore (and to nap hehe). Igloo is a tad bigger (not fatter!) than her other friends and she has a hearty appetite. From fresh foods, vegetables to sprays, Igloo will be the first volunteer for a taste test.
Interestingly, while Igloo is a short haired Syrian, she has a little skirt of fur near her bottom which her fosteror likes to style sometimes hehe. It will be relatively easy to take pictures of Igloo as she moves slowly and like to “freeze” on the spot. Her perky little ears and bright eyes will make her the perfect little model!
Igloo is hand tamed (i.e. comfortable with being handled) but she might have to squeeze herself to fit on your palm if your palms are a little small (no discrimination here, she welcomes anyone who is ready to provide her with the love and home she deserves, regardless of palm size) :-)
