We try to be body-positive here, but Mocha <strong>is<\/strong> a bit on the chubby side. And a bit on the fluffy side!<\/p>\n<p>4. Mocha is a self-soother. She learned at some point that when she gets agitated, she should go straight to her scratcher and she&#8217;ll feel better.<\/p>\n<p>5. Mocha learns fast. It only took two or three times giving her treats in a carrier for her to decide that the carrier is a good place to be, and now she hangs out there probably 50% of the time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dcdotnerd.com\/kittelach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-10-21.47.09-e1439323096485.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-26\" src=\"https:\/\/dcdotnerd.com\/kittelach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-10-21.47.09-e1439323096485-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photograph of Mocha in her carrier\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcdotnerd.com\/kittelach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-10-21.47.09-e1439323096485-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/dcdotnerd.com\/kittelach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-10-21.47.09-e1439323096485-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcdotnerd.com\/kittelach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-10-21.47.09-e1439323096485.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>6.Mocha is protective of her territory and her people. (This is why she should be an only cat.)<\/p>\n<p>7. Mocha isn&#8217;t a lap cat, but does love being near people. She happily sits near me in whatever room I&#8217;m in and has started hopping up in bed with me (much to the consternation of Skates and Shadow).<\/p>\n<p>8. Mocha is particular about the arrangement of her living space. I will put her water bowl down and come back 15 minutes later to find it in front of the open carrier flap, as opposed to the where-I-won&#8217;t-trip-over-it location I put it down in.<\/p>\n<p>9. Mocha likes wand toys, and will carry one of them around the house with her.<\/p>\n<p>10. Mocha likes kisses on the head and nuzzling noses.<\/p>\n<p>Bonus fact! Mocha is all ready to be adopted; she just needs her forever family to wake up and smell the coffee!
