Coloration: Tabby and White
Likes: Rolling on the kitchen floor or the carpet upstairs. Getting the top of her head kissed, and giving headbutts right back.
Pet-Peeves: None. She has a few things that make her squawk a bit but she's too even-keeled for a real pet peeve.
Favorite Toy: The black and white mouses and the all-white mouses.
Favorite Nap Spot: My bed or the carpet upstairs.
Favorite Food: She needs to have either CD or Royal Canin UR, but she won't have one, nor the other -- only a 50/50 mix.
Skills: She brings me toys from upstairs. Usually, there are several waiting for me in the morning.
Dwells:
indoors
Arrival Story: About a year after Junior wandered into my life, I was again sitting on the front porch with my next-door neighbors and we decided to check on the house next to them to see what strays where there. Two new kitties were on the steps. I nabbed one and even though she was still a very little thing, she had obviously just had kittens and either they were dead, or she wasn't concerned about them and they would be. I took her upstairs and in the next 24 hours realized she simply HAD to be related to Junior, certainly a half-sister. They looked amazingly similar, her actions and reactions were amazingly like his, her characteristics were like him... Since Junior was more than 10 years younger than my next youngest, and would grow old alone, I decided to keep Tethys. At first I was going to call her Minnie (as in "Mini-Me) but decided she deserved her own distinctive name, so I called her Tethys (pronounced Teth-iss), after one of the Titans (the parents of the Greek Gods -- google it and read Tethy's sad story).
Bio: Like Junior, Tethys doesn't have a single bad trait, not a single bad characteristic. She has a tiny voice while he has a big loud one; she speaks chattingly while in the same room but he shouts while in a different room (calling me to come play). She has circles on her and more black, while he has stripes. Tethys didn't turn into a fully fluffy Wegie kittie as Junior did last Christmas (at about 2 years old) but our heros Smudge and Sissel say they didn't get totally Wegie-fied until their 3rd year. So we will wait and watch. If the length of her prodigous whiskers is any indication, she is going to be reeeeally fluffy!

Fluffkins Factor: January 2008: Tethys Fluffkins turns 2 this month and we all expected her to have her full-on Norsk Skogkatt coat by now, as Junior did a year ago. But it just isn't as long as his yet. We checked with our Wegie heroine and hero (Sissel and Smudge) and Sissel says she didn't get her full coat until she was three. So we're still watching and waiting, assuming the females take longer to mature in this slowly maturing breed: http://www.kittykitty.com/cat-breeds/norwegian.html
Fluffkins Factor Part 2: Mom continues to have a hard time believing there is even one reason why Junior and I are not from the same mother, or father, or both. Junior and I both go upstairs and then call for Mom to play with us (she's never had a cat do that before). Junior and I both wriggle on the floor at dinner time (Mom's never had a cat do that before). Junior and I both prefer to eat late. Junior and I look so much alike that if Mom isn't paying attention or has a bad angle, even she gets confused. The list goes on. Mom really wants to find the Weggie factory nearby who puts us out onto the street.
Mom was laughing at me yesterday. She put catnip down for Jake and Samantha to eat. When they were done, I wanted to make that catnip MINE ALL MINE. So I rolled in it. For awhile. And got it all over my fur. And then dashed around the house. Eventually I stopped to eat and Mom was able to comb the catnip out of my fur. But I sure had fun! And Mom sure had a laugh! You can see it in my new video on my page. When she zooms in on my back, you can see all the catnip MOL!!
A big thank you to Sugar Bear for writing to me to say Happy Birfday!! We typically celebrate the Gotcha Days in August because we know those and we don't know our actual birfdays (Junior and me). But Mom sort of guessed my age and worked backwards, and chose this date because she lost a cousin too young a long time ago, and felt saving a little life like mine wasn't a bad way to celebrate another a lost one.
Over at **Tabbies with 'Tudes**, Holly has made me a furtabulous cake and given me a really nice mousie to play with. Thank you, Holly! If you are in TWT, you can see them here: http://www.catster.com/forums/groups/thread/628681/54.
So I'm 4 years old now. Officially, according to Norwegian Forest Kitty-hood, I'm only now fully grown. It can take that long for wegies to be "mature". Does that mean I have to act mature? I am not ready for that.
Well, Mom just said she is going to get me something special today even tho Christmas is just around the corner...
