We’re introducing a new feature here on the Pattern & Paw blog: Pet of the Week!

This week, since it’s the first week and because she doesn’t get enough attention on this blog as is, we’ll be featuring our own kitty, Kalypso!

Name: Kalypso
Nick-Names: The Kitty, kitty, Voltaire (don’t ask me where that one came from)
DOB: Sometime in February, 2003 (I think)
Location: Nashville, TN
Favorite Food: Chicken. Definitely chicken (whether or not I get any, that’s another matter)
Favorite Toy: It’s a toss up between the pom-poms, the eyeball bouncy ball, rubberbands/hair ties, or the infamous red string.
Favorite Nap Spot: Um, anywhere? Though I do have to say my Jake & Micah sushi mat is pretty comfy, and it’s catnip scented so it puts me right to sleep.
I love… Wheat grass, outside time on the porch, cardboard to lay on (or any paper for that matter), lap-time, nap-time, play-time, high up places, and fresh ice water straight from my owner’s glass.
I hate… The vacuum. Don’t even get me started.
Special Skills: Drinking water out of a glass with my paw. It’s much better than that stale water they *try* to make me drink. I can sense fresh ice water from across the room. I’m also quite adept at having a full conversation with the humans, though what they say to me never makes much sense.
Super-Power(s): Super smell! I can smell that package of chicken you bought *before* it even comes out of the fridge!
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: I get a new collar every few weeks, so picking one is always tough! Currently, I’m wearing Ahoy Pink Skull & Crossbones Cat Collar (they think I’m a pirate or something).

P&P Stylist Says…
Kalypso has a lovely color to her. Odd and lovely at the same time. It almost looks like someone accidentally spilled some bleach over her gray fur. Lucky for her, gray goes with almost anything. To bring out the subtle green flecks in her eyes, why not try the ever-popular Lime Taffy Stripe Cat Collar? Or, to showcase her klepto-nature (I hear she likes to steal water glasses), maybe the Ahoy Pink Skull & Crossbones Cat Collar would be more fitting? For a more sophisticated look, the hot pink and black polka dots in the Dahlia Swiss Dots Cat Collar would make Kalypso a fashionisa kitty cat.

Each week we’ll choose one special pet and feature him or her here, on our blog. Not only that, but the chosen pet will receive a special gift from Kalypso herself!
