Hi! My name is Tornado Kitty, and I live with Katie. I'm seventeen pounds of furry cuteness. I like to lick plastic bags, hang out with my pals Fritz and Ollie when I get a chance to visit them, and charm people so they can't resist giving me something to eat. You should see me sit up on my hind legs. Feel free to e-mail me.
You can hear me purr by downloading purr.ogg (192 KB), purr.mp3 (431 KB), or purr.wav (592 KB).
How did I get my name? I got lost outside after the September 2001 tornado in central Maryland. Eventually I got picked up by the Howard County Cat Club, where they called me Tornado Kitty. I was assigned to live temporarily with Katie, a foster cat caretaker, in November 2001, but it didn't take her long before she permanently adopted me.
This comic might give you some insight on my body-image perspective.
