I was taking photos for our summer print newsletter yesterday, and one of the animals who will be featured in this next issue is three-legged Honey Girl. She came to us last December from the Spokane County animal control shelter. She is a complete ham and a show-off, and she will do anything to get attention. Alayne calls her ‘Pretzel’ because of her ability to twist herself into all kinds of odd shapes.
She is usually on the perching shelves that line the walls of the cat house, and as soon as we walk in, Honey Girl begins throwing herself upside down or rolling on her back or hanging off the shelf. In other words, anything to draw attention to herself. In that photo of her at the top, you see exactly the kind of thing she does. "Over here! Look at me!" In case the visuals aren’t enough, she often chatters with little meows as she goes through her routine. So while Alayne calls her Pretzel, I call her Showgirl.
This is the kind of look we get when she’s done … sort of a "So, what did you think of that?" expression:
