Who am I


Ciri


​Kitten


2023


​Vzw: Poezenboot Gent


​Meters en Peters: Kathleen Beghyn, An Justens, Kemal Candan & Miriam Peretti


This sweetheart has found her golden basket ♥

Wil je graag de avonturen en evolutie van onze poezen volgen? Link dan zeker door naar onze instagram-pagina.


For Ciri, we are looking for a home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace and without other cats. A healthy dose of patience and spots in the house where she can be up high are a must. 

A garden is definitely a plus since she already enjoys stepping outside. Ciri is a curious and playful cat; she needs someone who can regularly make time for active play moments, preferably with her favorite playmate, the wand.

Story

Ciri is een kat die als jonge kitten gevonden werd in Merelbeke. Gelukkig kon ze worden opgevangen op de Poezenboot en kreeg ze daar de kans om aan mensen te wennen. Al snel werd ze geadopteerd om te introduceren bij een andere kat. Helaas was de eerste bewoner des huizes er niet mee opgezet dat er nog een kat bij kwam en hebben de humans beslist om haar na acht maand terug te brengen. Ciri was waarschijnlijk wel wat onder de indruk van dat avontuur en stak zich op de Poezenboot nadien vooral weg. In januari van dit jaar is Ciri dan naar ons verhuisd.

​Karakter

Ciri is a small sweet treasure who loves to play and roam around. When she is in our garden, she is completely in her element. Running around, chasing butterflies, and searching for insects are always on her to-do list. She can also lounge next to beautiful flowers and plants like the best of them. Keep in mind, Ciri is also a big adventurer, so a safe, enclosed garden or yard would be best for her.

She meows softly from time to time but is not yet 100% sure if she likes cuddling or not. Every time we feed her, her tail goes up, but extensive cuddling is still a work in progress.

Ciri likes to be around everywhere; she will definitely keep you company and let you know when it's time to play or eat.

​Kwaliteiten

Ciri is super cute, and the little spot on her nose definitely helps with that ;)

Het is een jonge kat vol energie. Ze speelt graag met de hengel en kan daar volledig in opgaan, ze zal je dus heel dankbaar zijn voor jullie vele speelsessies samen.

At first, she growled here for the slightest thing, but once she got to know our liquid snacks, she quickly traded the growling for delicious munching.

Favorite resting place

Ciri likes to hide somewhere, especially when she doesn't feel completely safe yet. In the beginning, you will need to provide her with many different hiding spots, preferably with a soft blanket underneath and over it so she has a tent to hide under.

Ze zit ook graag op een hoogte en dat het liefst aan het raam om zo naar buiten te kunnen kijken. Gelukkig hebben wij daar het perfecte materiaal voor ;) Deze hangmat is hier bij ons haar favoriet.

A moment when she will definitely move to a high place or into a little hole is when you bring out the vacuum cleaner, as she is very scared of it. So give her enough space when you want to start vacuuming, so she can first find a safe spot.

​Knuffelroutine

Here it gets a bit difficult... Ciri loves to cuddle but is still very scared of our hands. She does enjoy the feeling of the touch and starts to purr, but sometimes with a tiny wrong movement, she can suddenly lash out very fiercely. She sometimes gets scared herself. We think it's still an ingrained reflex that she will unlearn over time and with a lot of patience. We also recommend starting with just a few strokes at a time. Three strokes and then stop. She also loves to rest her little head in your hand without being petted otherwise. We think that might come from the nesting feeling of lying against her mom cat's belly before she fell asleep.

Tricks

As you could read, this Ciri has a few tricks since she is quite unpredictable when being petted. But we are convinced that once she has a stable place and routine, she can definitely become a very sweet and affectionate cat.

We absolutely recommend keeping her as a solo cat. Neither here nor on the cat boat did she show interest in the other cats, and when she is in a large group with many different cats, she sometimes dares to urinate in unwanted places, probably due to stress. Many people ask us for advice because they have a "wild urinator" at home, so believe us, you would much rather prevent it than cure it.

​Favoriete eten

Ciri is dol op haar droge voeding, ze eet deze met veel smaak op en knabbelt goed op haar brokjes. Bij ons krijgt ze 's avonds ook natte voeding, daar begint ze altijd met heel veel smaak aan maar ze eet haar portie bijna nooit volledig op. Het is zelfs geen zeer grote portie, maar we vinden het wel belangrijk dat de poezen dagelijks iets van natte voeding eten omdat ze op die manier meer vocht binnen krijgen. Wanneer Ciri een pauze neemt tijdens haar avondmaal doen we er wat verkruimelde kippensnoepjes of wat vloeibare snack over en dan begint ze zeker terug te eten ;)

You've probably already noticed, liquid treats absolutely must not be missing from your shopping list!

​Favoriete speeltje

Ciri speelt heel graag met de hengel en het maakt voor haar niet zoveel uit welk speeltje eraan hangt. Als jij maar ver genoeg staat en het speeltje veel en snel over en weer beweegt, zodat ze goed kan jagen. De vlinder of rupsie teaser vallen natuurlijk ook in de smaak, net zoals bij bijna alle katten. 

Kauwen op matatabi stokjes doet ze ook heel graag, noteer dat er dus maar bij op het lijstje ;) En van wat valeriaanspray op tijd en stond kan ze heel hard genieten.

​Gezondheidstoestand

Ciri had a bladder infection at the end of May. That’s when Ella and Gust were also introduced to the group, and we fear that she became stressed because of that. That is also the period when she started urinating in places that are not intended for that.

To be sure that she had no bladder stones or another medical problem, we had her examined by the veterinarian, but neither the ultrasound nor the urine test could give us more information. We also decided not to put her back in the group so that she wouldn't have to experience that stress again.

Please keep in mind that Ciri may always have a sensitive bladder, so she may need special food in the future.
