About Penelope | |

|
“I am Penelope and I am honest and true. I am the relatively rare orange and white woman cat. Most orange and white, especially tabby-striped, cats are guys. Please don’t mistake me for a guy. I am a strong, smart, and quite proud woman, and I like myself very much, thank you! I am not especially happy to be here so, if I seem a little snappish, it’s because I believe I deserve a wonderful private place to live with My Own Person, not to share this space withthese other cats.”
“I’m not at all, by nature, standoffish. I am strong, dignified, semi-royal and very much model myself on the original Greek Penelope who believed that Odysseus would return from the Trojan War. She was much like a cat – she waited not because she needed him – but because she wanted her human. Penelope, then and now, can take care of herself just fine. But she’d rather not. Penelope believes she should not have to do so.”
“I enjoy being petted. I even enjoy purring. Penelope also enjoys being appreciated. She might also like occasional worship. I’ve come a long way in the last several weeks, learning that, if I am appreciative of people, they will share food with me and talk softly to me and leave toys lying around where I can pounce on them. Try it. Bring me a toy, pet me, tell me stories.”
“I am Penelope. I do want my human(s). I will be honest again. I am hoping you will appear and that you will say, ‘I am looking for a rare orange and white woman who is strong and smart.’ And the Feline Rescue people will say, ‘We have just the Cat for you!” They’ll tell you that she doesn’t much care for silly or stupid. And you will say, ‘Wonderful, because I do want my Cat to know her own mind.’ Please, Person of Mine, come by with $120, adopt me, appreciate me, and, occasionally, worship me.”
