Cat - British Shorthair (Schleich)

Got something tasty there? With wide eyes, the British Shorthair Cat looks up and fixes its eyes on the plate. Who could resist? Of course, the fluffy play figure deserves a treat. It daintily samples the food and then cleans her shimmering bluish fur thoroughly afterwards. She likes to be cozy and spends her days indoors. She isn't keen on going outside at all. She prefers to be pampered by her human and enjoys long cuddles on the couch. You can't say no to that, surely?
