There is a new Bad Cat in this household. She actually isn't that that new, she's been here about 6 months. I gathered some past history on her and wore a longsleeve shirt and protective goggles before the interview.
Moxie Rotten is about 2 years old and was adopted from PetSmart. Apparently she had two litters and was pretty much neglected. The numbnut who adopted her was taken in by her fiesty personality, pretty coloring and vibrant yellow eyes (some people call them creepy). Since bringing home a new cat really needed the okay from the rest of the household, the woman left and whined on the phone to her husband on how the current feline resident needed a friend. Since he wasn't yielding very well, the big guns were brought out in the form of a phone call to the the Husband's Mother***. She has a history of adopting cats and dogs, so additional support was given, another phone call was made to the Husband, and he was told, "Your mother thinks it is a good idea", or something along those lines. So the little thing was brought home and it is happily ever after...yeah, right.
***Only try this tactic if a) you get along with your MIL and b) you think she will agree with you.
Name: Moxie Rotten. She was originally named Moxie Chutzpah, but after she peed on the bed, with the human in it, the second moniker was dropped and "Rotten" was put in its place.
Birthday: Undetermined, although her age is likely to be around 2.
Weight: She's 10 pounds now because she eats like there is no tomorrow. The Vet Tech was crazy enough to put her on the scale.
Weight: She's 10 pounds now because she eats like there is no tomorrow. The Vet Tech was crazy enough to put her on the scale.
Favorite person: Noone. She hates people, especially the woman who picks her up, gives her kisses, and tells her "I love you". You would think the woman would get smart after being bitten on the nose several times, but she doesn't.
Favorite sports: Sleeping, all you can eat contests, and scratching.
Favorite food: Pretty much anything that falls on the floor.
Biggest dislike: Besides human beings, she doesn't like loud noises.
Hobbies: Beating up the other cat, peeing on beds, and looking for food.
Vice: Gluttony and commandeering the red chair.
Bad Habits: Scratching, biting, peeing on beds.
Fears: None whatsoever...did I mention she has sharp claws and a nasty bite?
Best feature: Obviously not her personality. She is just the damn cutest thing. Her whiskers are long and droopy and make her look adorable.
Favorite Accessories: The black and white gingham collar the little guy picked out...it has a bell (so the humans can run away when they hear her), and her up to date vaccinations.
Quoted as saying: "Better inside and fat, than outside and flat" and "Go to your local shelter and adopt a pet today".
Favorite Celebrity: Bob Barker aka. Mr. "Don't Forget to Spay and Neuter your Pets".
Note...to get pet stains out of virtually anything try Nature's Miracle. I've used it time and time again (unfortunately), it really does work ,and I highly recommend it.
Although Moxie's personality leaves a lot to be desired, she is quite loved. She is so freaking cute and is actually quite inspirational to me.
