I got Boo! about 2 months ago from the shelter. She was dropped off there in a cage - and they didn't know about her past history. She's a little over a year old and was kind of skittish when I brought her home.
She's become more affectionate over time, but doesn't like a lot of petting (too much leads to biting).
The only time she lets me hold her is when I'm on the computer - and she jumps up on the keyboard or the desk. Then she'll let me pick her up and hold her as long as I turn around so she can watch TV with me (and have me forget the computer!)
Here's the thing: she NEVER purrs. She rarely vocalizes at all (only during play - and then only 'chirping'). Will she grow into purring, or is this just something she'll never do?
Thanks...
