“Hello, hello! Please come in! I am called Yo Yo, but I think my full name is Yo Yo Ma because I am as mellow as a cello (no groaning, please). I trill and chirp and make beautiful music, at least the tortie woman says I do. I think she likes me. I like me. I’m hoping you like me! I’m a young grey and white guy, rather long and lean. I think my fine fur would fluff up a lot if I had lots of good food. (Hint…)”

“I used to be the doorman at a fancy hotel – small one but a fancy one. I can say, ‘Good evening, ma’am’ and ‘Good evening, sir’ with the best. I lost my job to some guy with a black and white tuxedo. Looked like a penguin to me – wasn’t dignified like me, either. Penguin…fff.”

“I’m friendly and thoughtful. Take note of my wise face. I sit in my space and give profound thoughts to myself. I’d like a person or two who’d like to listen to my profound thoughts. I watch people. Through our window here, I see people. Live people! Moving people. Watching for them to come this way with food. Food! Good food. I prefer fish to penguins, thank you, and I don’t intend to share the fish with penguins, either.”

“Would you like to sit down and play your cello with me? We might make beautiful music. Then I’d take a nap in your lap – that’s not a rhyme – that’s the truth. You may pet me, too. Do you sing? A lullaby would be good. Yo Yo is an excellent cat – yes, I am. If you’re an excellent human, let’s team up for a wonderful forever gig. All you have to do is stop over the Feline Rescue with $120 in your paws. Yo Yo would love to see you!”
