Getting to know Muppety! 

This jet black beauty is quite the head turner in the neighbourhood. He is aware of his good looks and charms, and is honored to be the family favourite. Muppety's preoccupation with boxes somehow got him convinced that he could fit into all sorts of sizes!  He also knows he can get away with anything, therefore gets into quite a bit of mischief over the other siblings in his little cat family!

Name: Muppety
Breed: Street
Age: 7 years
Owner: Krishni Iresha

What's the significance of the name you've given him?

Well, he looked like a Muppet as a baby and we later added the 'Y' and it ultimately became Muppety!

What is a typical day like for Muppety?

Mostly he'd eat, sleep, and then look cute of course and annoy his other siblings!

What are mealtimes and bathtimes like?

He is the family favourite! (Don't tell the others that though!) And I give him extra food cause of that. And NO WATER! CATS absolutely HATE WATER, So does he!

Does he do anything out of the ordinary that fascinates you?

He can get very chatty when spoken to.

What annoys him the most?

Too much tender loving care I suppose! He hates it so much that he hides! He can be such a drama queen at times!

What is his most favourite fun time activity?

Sunbathing, I guess.

What is the naughtiest thing he has done?

Pushed our oldest, 12 year old Tigger down the flat one day! (That was also his second fall).

How did you find him?

In 2008, there were some heavy rains and my brother found a little black fellow, covered in mud and suffering in the rain all alone... Brought him home to nurture him and find a home. My mum and I got attached to the fellow and didnt want to give him away. (This was the case to most our cats!)

What is he most afraid of?

Loud noises.

How does he react when you returned home after a long day?

Gets on the bed with me for a bit of loving or rolls on the dining table to get some loving!

What makes him the best?

His fatness! Love squeezing him! He also allows us to slide him on the floor, you know like in those funny cat videos!

What was the most unforgettable moment and you shared with him?

I think the day we brought him. His baby face is unforgettable. Gosh I wish kids would not grow up and remain babies forever!
