Likes:
Her Wee Duck - which you can see in the pics. My Mum gave it to her - she got it in church, it was knitted by ladies in Africa with bicycle spokes for needles.

Pet-Peeves:
Dirty litterbox, being sneaked up on, being picked up, not being let out (or back in again) as soon as she goes to the door and asks.

Favorite Toy:
Wee Duck, duvet (when I'm *trying* to make the bed she loves to dive underneath and make me find her and chase her out - ad nauseum).

Favorite Nap Spot:
Bed, back of the sofa, ledge in the kitchen (good vantage point to see rest of apartment and make sure no one is sneaking up).

Favorite Food:
We think Theeny is bulimic - she has a clean bill of health, but nearly every day she will run into the kitchen, bolt some food, and then throw it up again. She likes wet and dry - she just needs to slow down and *chew*.

Skills:
She talks a lot - especially when I'm on the phone to someone, but unlike Lizzie, she makes the same sound over and over. She did this more than usual on my friend's birthday, so I worked out that she is saying "happy birthday" continuously.

Dwells:
indoors and outdoors

Arrival Story:
Athena is the daughter of Fauna (no longer our cat) who was one of the kittens in Nunsey's first litter - so she is the neice of Popeye and Lizzie.

Bio:
I didn't want to keep Thena to begin with because she was very dirty as a kitten and didn't seem to catch on to using the litter tray like the other kittens in her litter did, and I was tired of cleaning up the constant messes. After a while we realised that she's just hyper-fussy about the litter tray, and even if it has just been scooped, she still prefers to go outside to do her business - problem solved! My husband loved her and her quirkiness from day one and insisted he wanted to keep her. Such foresight! Now I love her to bits, and she adores me - she's such a sweet kitty! We like to spend quality time together at night when she plays piano on me in bed.
