Agatha was surrendered over to the sanctuary in December of last year. She had been found wandering a neighborhood in Portland and the woman who initially picked her up had no clue about how to care for a cat- let alone a calico with a HUGE attitude! We met at a fast food restaurant in Albany and she was transferred to our care.

From the get-go she was pure calico in attitude. Unable to get along with any other cat here, I pushed hard to find her a home where she would be able to thrive and be loved. I got lucky finding Christy and her family and off she went. She had no other cats in the home, just a dog Darcie who is a dachsund chihuahua mix-she had a 10 year old boy Tyler who loved her at first sight and a wife and a hubby. It was a match made in heaven.

This morning, Christy called me to fill me on Ms. Agatha and how she rules the roost. She sleeps with Tyler every night on his bed. She waits at the window for him to come home from school, then the minute he opens the door, he has to go and sit on the couch so they can have a pet fest. Then she follows him all over the house, interferes with him doing his homework (she dances across his paperwork or keyboard). But Christy says the funniest thing that Agatha does is Darcie is quite the barker. They can scold her for barking till the cows come home, but if this little dog wants to bark she does.

Recently, Agatha has developed an anti-barking campaign. When Darcie starts up her yapping, Agatha will slide off the couch, walk over to the little dog and with claws tucked in- whap her across the nose! Christy laughed and said it has worked so well that now, all Agatha has to do is show up in the room when the dog is going off and Darcie shuts up and slides under the dining room table. LOL

Gotta love Calicos-

Here is the Queen of the Castle- Agatha
