Despite her temporary name of Lance, she is all girl ... she's in the 6 year old range, and took a good number of weeks to settle into our environment. Once she had the time to figure out she was "okay", she pushes into your hand for pets, likes to be brushed, a quiet and tidy girl who likes her cat post and high-up places. She is comfortable around non-bossy cats but has had no real exposure to dogs.
