The world's most mischievous moggy! How Kitty the cat went from being rejected by FIVE foster homes

Cats are often seen as graceful creatures known for their ability to land on all-fours.

But one cat, who goes by the name Kitty, is an exception to that rule.

The frolicsome feline is trouble in every sense of the word, and in any one day can get tangled in paper, stuck in a box or wedged between the bed head and the wall.

Kitty's behaviour was so mischievous it was deemed too much for her owners.

The poor moggy was shunted between five foster carers before one brave owner took pity and adopted her for good.

And unlike the rest Kitty's new owner, who lives in New York, saw something in her that no one else did, and the pair went on to find Instagram fame.

This is *normal* cat behavior for a cat who is comfortable with their environment. As a cat-person it is the type of behavior I encourage and have seen in many of my fur-babies over the years.

Am glad she has a forever home.

Certainly nothing to warrant "returning" her 5 times.

But maybe it had to happen that way for kitty to finally find her forever home.
Poor cat shouldn't get a bad reputation over it though. :tic:

Personally I find her entertaining and adorable.

There was the original owner who put her n a shelter with the warning she was vicious and should not be adopted. But she was little and cute and someone adopted her after being told she was vicious, she was returned the same day for biting. and so on for the next 2 adoptions. Finally they put her on a retirement farm where the dogs ran free and lived in a barn, but my dog was not allowed to do that because the owner (foster) had small children and didn't want a vicious dog running around, so she was kept in a crate in the cat room and taken out twice a day for walks. I adopted her when she was some older age

but happy beyond measure that someone finally did.

There is an amazing world out there for those who appreciate our feline (and our canine) friends.

I know. I am the humble human companion of a cat who wandered into our front yard some years ago, starving and flea infested, who'd clearly decided we were her last best hope at life. We took her in, and it was the very best thing I've ever done. We already had two cats, and integrating this third into our household took time and a fair amount of flying fur. In the end, they all made peace, and for too short a time all three cats were in my life.

Alas, some years have passed, and none of those cats are with me now, and at the present my life is such that I can't host any feline friends. But someday I will again.

And to anyone who abandons or mistreats any mammals who look to us for support, keep in mind that karma will get back to you.

I can't get a cat until I move to a new apartment but that is the kind of cat I want.

To me it seems she hasn't a care in the world. She is very comfortable in her surroundings.
