When they became too active our loud she would run away and hide but when they were calm and relaxed, she would approach and nuzzle them to be pet. She has been around another cat and they would swat and attempt to swat, but she was respectful and gave the other cat their own space. She is litter box trained, kept indoors only, and has a high level of energy. She was described as confident, friendly, and talkative.
