Friendly, Mellow, More Stripes Than a Colonel

“Hi, there! Step right up and meet me, Nica, an excellent grey tabby who loves people, also most other cats so long as they’re up for rumble and tumble and chase. I think I’m about a year old, but I’m sure I’m wiser than my years. I’m told I have the build of a lady wrestler – and I am a lady – and the mind of a German philosopher – except I’m funnier, and I seldom speak in passive verbs.”

“I am soft. I am friendly and mellow. I snuzzle and sleep and think, wake up and think some more. Please admire my stunning stripes. Nica doesn’t have stripes. She has Stripes. She has more Stripes than a Colonel, maybe even more than a General, and she says her Stripes are also prettier than theirs. Would you like to pet my distinctive grey Stripes? I would like it. Yes, I would!”

“Occasionally, I sing. And, no, I have no idea what my name means. I pronounce it ‘Nee-ka’. Maybe from an ancient Greek goddess? The woman next door is Dianna, after all. Or, maybe, I’m a trade association. Take your choice: National Independent Concessionaires Association, National Ice Carving Association, Northwest Intentional Communities Association, National Institute of Circus Arts, and more. Also Nica’s Cafe320 in Kansas City – didn’t see tuna or mockingbird on the menu, though. Am I fun? I am fun!”

“Did I mention that, in addition to my active personality, I am a pretty woman? You’ll notice me when you walk in? Just the right colors – all shades of grey, a thoughtful face. And when I move, you’ll se both grace and purpose, poise and authority. What else can I say? Let’s get to know each other. Let’s play. Let’s me, Nica, become your forever cat, Stripes and all. $120 – that’s what they say.”

If you'd like to know more about me, just stop in at the Adoption Center to meet me or leave a message for my secretary at 651-642-5900 ext. 3. She'll call you back.
