  • Children: Tinkie is not a fan of kids and would do best in a child-free home, as she may feel overwhelmed by their energy.
  • Dogs: She’s okay with other dogs but is selective, choosing when to play and occasionally showing her teeth to set boundaries. She’s accepted her current owner’s dogs but prefers to interact on her terms.
  • Cats: Tinkie has adapted to her owner’s cat but may not readily accept other cats. With training, she could potentially adjust, but a cat-free home is ideal.
