Hi Everyone!
My name is Agatha, also known as Diplocat but we’ll get to more of that later, I’m a domestic longhair (probably with some Maine Coon mixed in). I live in South Arlington although I originally come from DC.
I had a more regal life previous to my current residence. I once belonged to an ambassador and his family and got to live in a real house. There I held the title of official mouser….I really like hunting things. Prior to that I was at the Washington Humane Society but I don’t remember much of my life prior to that. When the ambassador and his family moved back to their home country they didn’t take me with them, I was really upset. During the time between the old and new ambassador arriving the housekeeping staff tried to get me to run away multiple times. I ended up a the shelter and had to be picked up a few times by the embassy staff.
When the new ambassador and his wife arrived they made it very clear they not only hated me but all cats :(. I was taken to live at the embassy for a short while since i could not stay in the house. I did enjoy my time at the embassy doing cat things but this wasn’t going to be a permanent home for me. Luckily a staffer at the embassy knew someone who wanted a cat and he came to meet me, I naturally gave him the cold shoulder because it wouldn’t be cat like to show any interest in him. He left that day without taking me home but returned a few days later to get me and take me to his home.
I wasted no time in exploring my new digs which were not nearly as awesome as a full house but I guess it was better than the shelter or the street. I have managed to force my owner into buying me many cat toys, two cat condos, and only the finest food and treats. I also have my own dedicated chair that if anyone else sits in I get upset. You’ll hear more about me later.
