Meet Lucy, a very cute but highly-opinionated and self-willed little tuxedo-cat. Lucy came to us from some people who couldn't handle her independence and persnickety attitude - and she does have Cattitude! She can be warm and loving and affectionate, when she wants to be and on her terms! Or she can be really testy and short-tempered sometimes. As you will see from the pictues, she has a white chin with one small white marking that goes over onto one side of her upper lip, which kind of gives her a 'haughty sneer' kind of expression - and she can really make that look haughty if she wants to!!
She takes much longer to warm up to strangers or new feline arrivals in the household than anyone else does, and takes her sweet time making any decisions about really accepting other cats-- sometimes three to four years or more. But she's very playful at times, loves to help keep the bed nice and warm with her human "staff" on cold winter nights, and is always present and helpful when there is a chicken or beef or turkey or ham dinner to be shared. She also has some rather strange tastes for a cat - for example, she's very, very fond of: tomatoes (raw, sliced) - honeydew melon - pepperoni pizza - many kinds of soups - Italian sausage - definitely not standard fare for a feline. But she's our little cat and we're deeply attached to her, and she to us ( on her terms!) And she's very very entertaining, as well- we're glad to be allowed to share her house!
