Still Learning How to Be a Cat

“Hi! As long as I’m safe and secure in my Trader’s Joe wine box, I’ll say hello. But, tell me, does it say ‘Two Buck Chuck’ on my box and me? Because I’m Emmy, a small tabby, and I’m worth a lot more than two bucks. I’m a bit shy, but my mama, Tulip, raised me right. She said, ‘Now, Emmy, when people speak to you, you speak back nicely. Say hello when someone says hello to you.’ So, hello!”

“Mom is very outgoing. She’s bouncing all over the room and telling you stories. I am watching everything. I miss nothing. Look at my bright little girl eyes! You can see how smart I am, right? I like crackle balls and crumpled paper. If that big buff galoot weren’t staring me down, I’d come out of Trader Joe’s box and give that purple crackle ball some trouble. Oh, I’m not scared of the galoot; I just don’t like being stared at. I have poise and dignity – and I am not persuaded that he does!”

“My mom, Tulip and I, have spent most of last year with our foster mom who, last spring, found us dancing and prancing in her tulip bed. We heard that’s what you’re supposed to do – tiptoe through the tulips – so that’s what we did. My brother got himself adopted a while back. Now, we’ve come here to the Adoption Center, hoping that our forever people will walk in, see us, and know that we all belong together.”

“So, you could adopt me all by myself, but, gee, I think I’d like it better if you decided you wanted a Tulip, too. I’m not sure I’ve learned everything there is to know about how to be a cat – and mom knows – I know she does. It’s almost spring – can you feel it? I’d like to dance and prance this year in your kitchen, not outside in a garden. Outside is scary dangerous – and doesn’t seem to come with safe, secure Trader Joe’s boxes.”

“Here’s my offer – me, Emmy, a bright-eyed tabby – and my trusty box – for $120. Or me and my mom, Tulip, for $235, and we’ll entertain you, maybe sit in your lap. Just, please, don’t stare at me. And, please, do offer me some crackle balls instead of Two Buck Chuck!”

 

If you'd like to meet me or know about me, please stop in at the Adoption Center. Otherwise you could call my human assistant at 651-642-5900 ext. 3 and leave a message. She'll call you back.
