Hi! My name is Margarita

I am a Snowshoe from Bangor, ME

Nicknames: They call me Rita, unless I'm very naughty- then they call me by my whole name, and I know I'm in BIG trouble!!!

Age: 4 years old

Gender: F

Coat: short haired

Education: I've learned how to open the cupboard doors when I think my mother isn't feeding us fast enough!! Mom says that since I like to play in the water so much, maybe I should learn to use the toilet. I wouldn't rule that out- I am fascinated with that contraption! I've also made friends with the big cats which was no easy feat! They would hiss and growl at me, and at my sister, but I stood my ground and now I can sleep on the bed with them at night.

My favorite tricks and treats are: I'm learning to do the high five with my mother. It's pretty cute. I've also learned what the cupboard door sounds like and I come running when I hear it because I know it's time to eat. and I don't really like food treats that well. I love it when my mother brings home a new toy or some catnip for the scratch box. I can make a toy out of anything, and I've been known to take pipe cleaners, tin foil balls, and other odds and ends that my mother thinks I'll like to play with.

Where I hang out: I like to be anywhere that there are people. I also like to surprise people! If someone walks by the bed, or by the couch, I like to jump out at their feet. It's always funny to scare them that way!! My sister and I also have a nice perch in the living room window where the sun comes in. We like to sit on that, but sometimes Uncle O and Auntie Te try to take it away from us. They'll share it with us now, though, if we choose not to move. I also like to sleep with my Mom at night.

My favorite grubs: My Mom buys us Nutro Max Cat, both the dry food for kittens, and the gourmet packets for kittens. I love those gourmet packets!! I come running for those!

My pet peeves: I don't really have any pet peeves- unless it's that Auntie Te Amo and Uncle Osito pretend that we annoy them. I know it's not true because when no one is looking, they want to play with us! They will chase us through the house, or let us chase them, when Mom and Dad aren't around! But, if anyone else is here, it's all about the hissing and growling and swatting.

What I love about my owners: My Mom is very compassionate and gets pretty upset when she talks about us having been in cages before she found us. She always brings us good food to eat, and new toys. She spoils us rotten! Sometimes she even calls during the day while she's at work to leave us a message on the machine!

My cat hobbies: I love to play!! I can have fun about anywhere, but I really love to be in the sink, or in the shower! Of course, my other favorite thing to do is to sleep curled up with my Mom. She pats me and I purr.

Pet motto: I'm just looking for a good time!
