Meet Cleopatra

Tiny Tank • Fly Hunting Champion • Surprisingly Athletic Chonk

Cleopatra — better known as Cleo — came home alongside Figaro during the first shelter trip in what would eventually become a series of increasingly questionable kitten-related decisions.

As a kitten, Cleo was tiny, energetic, and constantly running around the house causing problems at high speed.

These days, Cleo has embraced a very different lifestyle.

Cleo is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the household and proudly carries the title of Largest Chonk. When she runs, her stomach does not gently sway like Sandy’s.

No.

Cleo’s belly moves with the force and momentum of a bowling ball attempting to escape gravity.

And yet, despite weighing approximately the same as a juicy watermelon, Cleo is shockingly athletic.

She is one of the best hunters in the house and absolutely lethal when flies enter the building. Watching a nineteen-pound cat launch herself into the air to intercept a flying insect is both deeply impressive and mildly terrifying.

Cleo is a very sweet cat. She enjoys attention, lounging dramatically across furniture, and supervising household activity from whichever location provides the best combination of comfort and authority.
