Lunar was born from one of the first ever litters in Australia. Her Breeder Catzgonewild was the first to introduce this new breed to Australia. So as you can imagine her physical traits are very much a talking point when people see her.

 

She is very independent and will spend most of her time sleeping and watching from above her tower, Lunar is extremely smart so she is always one step ahead of you, I never come across a breed of this intelligence before, her polydactyl feet allow her to open doors, draws and even hold pens. She learnt by herself to play fetch and bring her toy back to my hand. This game can go on for hours once she has found a willing participant.

She loves the shower, she will join me every morning without fail and sit by my feet and will be absolutely drenched by the time we are both out but loves it.
