Do I look like a Monster?


Scylla says I am a MONSTER.

Well to be precise she said I was named after a monster.

I think Monsters are scary.

I don't see how anyone could be scared of little ole me.

Now I has to admit I has a fierce battle cry.

Well OK, it's really just an I am starving MEOW. But hey, I can Meow louder than Scylla.

MOL, she has learned to be very quiet so she doesn't wake me up in the morning. See if I am awake I get feed first.

But if I am still sleeping she gets feed first.

I haven't had a chance to meet Scylla up close and personal yet. All the other cats come sleep with me, but NOT HER. I smells her though and I know she looks the most like me just way bigger.

But I really don't think I look like a monster, what do you think?

The Chimera was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal, Lion, Dragon, Goat (Hmm mm I was found on a goat farm)

Scylla is also named after a monster in Greek mythology.


In Greek mythology, Scylla was a monster that lived on one side of a narrow channel of water, opposite its counterpart Charybdis. The two sides of the strait were within an arrow's range of each other—so close that sailors attempting to avoid Charybdis would pass too close to Scylla and vice versa. Scylla along with her litter mate Charybdis were known as "The Monsters" or S&C We are very glad to have another C in the house and we look forward to seeing how our two Monsters get along.
