The World's Worst Cat
to be up for adoption has gone viral, though I hardly see the cat being as bad as Bob Rotten, aka Bobi the Bad, who is perpetually annoyed--and annoying.
Sweet little Bear!
Requests to adopt the cat from hell have flooded the shelter,
in spite of their protestations that this cat is no good. This says something about cat owners, but I don't care to know what it is. After all.... Bobi the Bad is still commanding my attention and servitude to his litterbox, food dish, and water supply. The faucets! Gaaahh!!!
On Christmas Eve in North Carolina, an evil shadow took up residence in the Mitchell County Animal Rescue. White and black with piercing green eyes and a disdain for all god’s creatures, this living curse took the form of a cat, described by the shelter as “a jerk” and the “world’s worst” example of her species. Now, a month later, the creature is ready to move into the home of those willing to brave her malignant presence.
Perdita, as the cat is called, is not being talked-up to those who might consider adopting her... she’s “not for the faint of heart.” Her “likes” include “staring into your soul until you feel as if you may never be cheerful again” as well as “jump scares (her specialty), lurking in dark corners,” and “fooling shelter staff into thinking she’s sick (vet agrees ... she’s just a jerk).”
To most, the idea of living with Perdita sounds like a special sort of self-inflicted hell. But to others, the cat’s withering gaze might seem like a challenge. Tame Perdita and you’ve tamed one of hell’s own emissaries. Care for her until she allows you to scratch her dread belly and you’ve scratched the tummy of the devil’s own.
