I've wanted a studio pet for a long time, preferably a dog who will lay around, not pooping or shedding or smelling like a dog. I really love dogs, but I don't love the 'realities' of having one, so when I saw this glorious cat (at the thrift store, of course) I knew she was destined to live out her days as my studio buddy. And unlike the breathing variety of feline, she doesn't puke up hairballs, poo in my flower bed, or act bitchy.
Perfect!
