Oh dear, your lovely Heidi, looks and sounds, just like my Muffin.... Floofy feet, ear tufts, a nice neck ruff and a fluffy tail, very vocal and loves water.
Settled in immediately, nice to my little female cat, (mostly) tolerant of the greedy git who moved in a year later.
If he thinks I'm oversleeping, he pats my face or licks my nose.
So, all gorgeous, but somehow he runs the entire house, we both run around, turning taps on and off, he grazes, so we feed on demand. An iron fist in a velvet paw!
I've had cats for 35 years and he's the most manipulative and intelligent I've ever had.
I've been told mine looks and behaves like a Norwegian Forest Cat, but he's only 4.5kg, so we've decided he's a British Shrubbery Cat!!
Look forward to being an abject slave family 
.
Oh and, brilliantly done, sounds like you've got a stonker!
