Oatmeal is a very sweet kitty with a spicy side. She loves to be pet and held by certain people. She will not hesitate to swat you if you are annoying her but she is a big softy inside. If you are confident around her and just pick her up and snuggle her she will purr up a storm but if you are hesitant and she smells weakness she will deem you inferior and swat you. She is a beautiful cat that just needs someone to give her a chance. She tolerates some cats but bullies others but would probably be fine in a home with another cat as long as she had space of her own.
