Silly Zilly. What a GREAT cat she is. We love having her around. She is fun loving, quirky, and full of loving. You would think she's a kitten the way she plays. She loves her people and loves to have her face rubbed. She will even grab your hand and lick it herself, and then rub her head against your hand. She wants to teach you to wash her face appropriately with the right amounts of cat spit apparently. Her coat is lush, and requires brushing a few times a week. She doesn't mat much, but it's helpful to keep her shedding down.

Zilly has the usual flat face of an Exotic so she requires a little eye and face maintenance. Washing her nose crease and under her eyes daily with fresh clean water and a plain white paper towel will keep her face pretty and her skin healthy. She loves the grooming so it's not a hard task. Although it's not a requirement she would also benefit from daily eye drops just to keep those big round eyes well lubricated. Some cats with the big round eyes get dry eye. If you put Celluvisc Refresh, a human eye drop with no preservatives, into the eyes daily, they stay beautiful and healthy. While you're at it, put a few drops in your own eyes. They are safe and keep the air pollution from giving YOU tired eyes.

Zilly is currently living in a foster home with other cats and a couple of large, "We're So Blasé About the Cats" dogs. She isn't bothered by the dogs and does get along with other cats. In a new environment she can be a bit of a diva with the cats but only until she gets to know them. As long as your current cats are friendly, she'll be fine with proper introductions. Zilly would also be fine as an only pet since she really only wants to love on you constantly.

To adopt Zilly you must be willing to commit to caring for her eyes, and she MUST be allowed to sleep with you at night. She is super affectionate so being left alone while you are at work, and then kept away from you at night, would be devastating for her. As always, the perfect home for Zilly would be where someone works from the home or is retired and wants to spend all day with Zilly. She will even help you on the computer if you'd let her.
