Elodie and her sister Melody are lovely cats who were found in a disused carpark and a kind man who was feeding stray cats there alerted us to Melody who had very young kittens hidden in bushes. We managed to get Melody, her kittens and her sister Elodie. We think that both cats had probably been dumped there at some stage as they were not feral, although very shy, but they came up to the man who fed them.

In our time with Elodie, we’ve seen her confidence grow. Although she’s the shyer and quieter of the sisters, Elodie is curious and likes to explore her surroundings. She didn’t take long before she was happy to spend the day in the same room as us.

At this point, Elodie isn’t yet ready for us to stoke her fully, but she is happy to come and sniff your hand and is showing initial signs of progress after allowing a few small, gentle strokes of her paw or back when very relaxed. We’re hopeful in time she’ll progress further. She does, however, have a lovely way of showing you she knows you care… she slowly closes her eyes when you talk to her, showing a look of contentment.

Elodie, does however show a slightly bolder side when it comes to her favourite thing, eating! If you’re too slow delivering her food, she won’t hesitate to use her voice to get her message across.

Elodie’s favourite pastime is watching TV. When she does, she really gives it her full attention and always goes for a front row view! She loves watching cat TV, any other animal programs, as well as sports, the news and in fact any other shows she feels will broaden her education.

Elodie does like to play when she gets a chance, as her sister often jumps in first. She’s a bit calmer than Melody, and if it’s a fluffy toy, she’ll gently wash it when caught rather than bite it.

In our experience we’d say that Elodie is the sensible one. She’s always looking out for her sister and, if Melody isn’t nearby, she’ll call for her and not settle until she finds her. Which is really sweet. These sisters definitely have a lovely bond together!

Elodie needs an adult only home where she can be given the time to develop her confidence and trust in her owners at her own pace.
