Actual Name: Kinsale (we believe she arrived as a stowaway in my uncle's yard in an East Cork Oil lorry - she was so small she literally fit on my palm).
Species: Cat
Nicknames:
Dora the Explorer (she's adventurous), KittenCat (she's always been tiny), Pushkin Cat (I have no idea why my parents say this, but they do).
Miscellaneous:
She acts like she owns our house. When I'm at home, I get up before everyone else, and more or less as soon as I open my curtains, she's on the windowsill, waiting expectantly to be let in. She then sleeps in front of the fire for the pretty much the entire day, occasionally wandering into the kitchen and waiting expectantly at the cupboard where she knows we keep our food, or waiting expectantly at the back door to be let out to go to the bathroom, followed almost immediately by her waiting expectantly on another windowsill to be let back in. Oh also she's extremely athletic. She can jump about eight to ten times her height. She often jumps up onto the back door handle, which is about four feet off the ground, and hangs on it till somebody lets her in. The picture is of her in front of my bedroom window, licking the condensation.
