 So captivating. She's my lil' ride-or-die babygirl. She is a very present girl and always wants to be a part of everything I do. She sleeps in her bed right next to my head, where the other pillow would go. I give her a kiss and tell her "good night" and "I love you" every night before I sleep, and her face with those eyes is the first thing I see looking at me when I wake up.

She wakes me up every morning without meowing by gently pawing at the pillow just beside my ear until I get up. She is a quiet girl with a soft meow. It's really quite adorable. She can raise her soft voice, but she chooses not to.

If by chance I don't wake up after a while, then she starts messing around with my computer cords and accessories until I do. She's very smart. She knows that will get me up. If I tell her "no" in a stern voice, she will look at me and double-down, nibbling at the cord or pawing at the mouse or whatever. She is defiant when the tone is harsh, but if I tell her "no, baby" in a soft, sad, or disappointed tone, she will stop. She can be a cheeky girl sometimes; she's big on respect. :)

As a breed, Sphynx cats are known to be extroverted, affectionate, and energetic, but she is respectful when I meditate. She perks up when she hears the tingsha or singing bowl I strike before and after silent meditation and usually sits or lies down near me, or goes to her favorite spot by the window.
