Diana is a distinctive, attentive Minuet. Her solid blue coat is exceptionally thick and soft, of moderate maintenance just grazing the floor. What is a Minuet you might ask? When one takes a gorgeous Persian and crosses with a short-legged Munchkin, the result is a Minuet. Although it may be hard to distinguish in the photos, Diana has shorter than the average legs. She is a full-bodied girl, with a larger, long frame that looks even bigger since she is low to the ground. One might think you have invested in a portable Roomba as her long coat almost grazes the ground and can easily fit under low furniture! 😊

Diana is a very attentive girl and craves bonding with her human. When greeted, expect her to be up on your lap, paws on your shoulders with some snuggles and kisses gracing your chin and cheeks. She might bury her soft nose in your ear and purr just to say, “I love you”. Do acknowledge her presence with gentle petting and snuggling in return or she might just nibble your chin or nose to bring your focus to her. 

Diana has a wonderful open face, with no breathing problems. Her eyes occasionally, gently weep and require some cleaning. It is recommended that you comb her daily to keep shedding to a minimum. When maintained, she does not mat, and she does not even mind having her belly combed. (It is preferred that you comb, not brush her to remove loose hair and not damage or break off the fur. Her foster mom exclusively uses the Chris Christenson medium-coarse 7.5” buttercomb. You will not need any other grooming tool if you have this.) 

Expect that Diana will want to sleep on your lap, but she is not so dependent that you will be frozen in place. She loves to chase fireflies and spiders outside the window, works her scratching post hard and enjoys her cat tree. Oh, and do expect that she will have a lot to say to you. If you are gone during part of the day, she will want to tell you all about her day, upon your return.

Diana will thrive in a quieter environment with some routine. She will become stressed and anxious with a busy and high activity home. No kids, no puppies, no high energy cats or a combination of such is appropriate for her. She may be okay with an older dog or cat (only one, not both) that will ignore her. Her ideal is as an only princess. Diana deserves her best life and if you can give her this, she will be perfect for you.

Diana has been 100% perfect with her litterboxes. They are large, open, unlined and reasonably low to the ground (remember she has short legs). Clumping, unscented litter is great. She enjoys a small handful of Nutro kibble daily and of course, her very favorite, Gravy Lovers Fancy Feast.
