Ndito's owner was not able to obtain the required permits to own an exotic cat. Texas Parks and Wildlife brought her to IEAS. N'Dito is very apt to show the staff and her adoptive parents just how quick and agile she is on any given day. In one split second, she can move from her house to the top tier of her terraced habitat, and it's possible her paws will rarely touch the ground. It is that speed, power and instinctive behavior that shows anyone exactly why exotic cats don't make good pets. Ndito's eyes are as powerful as her legs; her stare is capable of saying, "you're not filling my pool correctly," or "do not move my pile of leaves!" Her hanging tire is frequently used by birds each spring to build a nest. N'Dito has never made even the slightest overture or aggressive move to disturb a nest, and the past two years all the baby birds have grown up successfully. It will take time for new adoptive parents to establish a trusting rapport with N'Dito, but it will happen because this beautiful and cunning cougar really does have a little bit of a soft spot in her heart.

Personality Traits

N'dito is a small female cougar, probably a South American subspecies, as they tend to be a bit smaller; however, she is not lacking in power, speed, or stealth. N'dito makes up for her size with strong natural predatory tendencies. She constantly stalks humans. She is capable of great affection, and when she is in the mood, her purr is as loud as the largest cougar. She is subject to rapid and strong mood swings with no obvious precipitating reason.
