Artemis

mpagliar says: Artemis is a brown, black, and white shorthair with exceptional markings whom I adopted from a no-kill rescue seven hours away. The photos of her on Petfinder caught my eye and I followed my instinct to pick her up. All that is known of her history is that she was abandoned at a dog show with her sister, and the rescue spirited them away from doom at a shelter known for euthanizing healthy animals. Named Artemis after the virgin Greek goddess of the hunt, and to honour a distant, beloved spiritual feline "relative" Demeter. She's the most inquisitive, attentive, and expressive cat I have ever had. She will "speak" quietly by moving her mouth in response to people's words as if trying to learn a human language.
