Gala

Hi friends! I'm Gala, and I come with bonus toes! That's right - I'm a fancy Hemingway cat, which basically means I'm genetically blessed with extra toe beans. More to love, right?

Now, I'll be honest with you because that's the kind of cat I am - I'm what you might call a "cautious connoisseur" of human attention. Think of me as the feline version of Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy - it's not that I don't like you, I'm just very... selective about my social interactions!

My current favorite activity is hand-dining (very posh, I know). That's when I'm feeling brave enough to let you scratch my chin - it's my version of a trust fall! And while I may not be ready for casual pets yet, I've discovered something amazing: being wrapped up like a purrito (that's a cat burrito) actually feels pretty wonderful. Sure, I might get a bit nervous during the wrapping process (and yes, sometimes my nerves get the better of my digestion, if you know what I mean ?), but once I'm snuggled in? Pure purrs!

I'm making progress every day, and my recovery time from scary moments is getting shorter and shorter. Think of me as a work in progress - like a shy butterfly slowly emerging from her chrysalis, just with extra toes and better whiskers.

Looking for a gentle soul to help me discover my brave side? Someone who understands that slow and steady wins the trust race? Then maybe we could write our own success story together!

Love and toe beans (extra ones!),
Gala ??

P.S. - Yes, I always know when you're trying to sneak pets while I'm sleeping. I'm basically a ninja... just a very shy one! ?
