What makes Phaedra so mean?
This is Phaedra [aka Badness, Uppity-ass
Cat, Filth]. Born somewhere in the swampy, swampy south, this
cat is living proof that one can remove the cat from the swamp
but not the swamp from the cat.
From her alligator ancestors, she has
inherited stealth, speed, and a vise-like chomp. Her one
weakness is falling asleep on her back with paws in the air, so
that anyone around finds her tummy irresistible. The fools.
When she is awake, she will systematically
clear books from their shelves, beginning at the bottom. Once
the previous shelf has been cleared, she will hop into it, reach
up to the next, and continue the siege. After the second or
third shelf, she retire to the pile of books she created on the
floor and snack on dust jackets. She will not admit it publicly,
but she loves to be brushed.
Phaedra is quite jealous of attention lavished on anyone/thing
but her and will lash out by leaping upon a table or shelf and
destroying whatever she finds there. Her favorite pastimes are
eating things she finds on the floor, leveling anything upright,
and tormenting tree-dwelling rodents from the comfort of her
apartment window sill.
