Flapper (and Rimley)

My story

I’m Flapper, a black-and-white shorthair kitty. My brother, one of my sisters, and I got our names from a funny story. When we arrived at our foster home, we were itty-bitty kittens and we were very frightened because we didn’t understand what was happening. We were kept in a guest bathroom until our foster parents got our room ready. They had no idea that the toilet in that guest bath had a small opening in the skirting around the base… but we found it! The three of us crawled inside that skirting and huddled there because it felt safe. Our sister, Sugar, didn’t join us because our foster parents realized what had happened in time to put her into a kitten playpen. The rest of us, however, stayed there in our secure little “cave” for a long time. It was long enough that our foster parents were worried about us going too long without a feeding. With the help of a nice neighbor, they unbolted and lifted the toilet so they could get us out. From that day, the three us became known as Porcelain, Flapper (that’s me!), and Rim (aka “Rimley”). I’m high-energy and playful, yet also lovable and cuddly, with a nice loud purr. My siblings and I love to run around and play. We jump and twist in the air to catch the birdie on the wand toy. We love to parkour off of walls, furniture, people, and sometimes even each other. One of our favorite things is a tall scratching post that we can climb and sit at the top to look out the window. While I adore and get along great with all of my siblings, I share a special bond with my sister Rimley. Our energy seems to be aligned.
