Your Pet's Story or Bio
Hi, my name is Jaina Beast. When I was adopted from AWLA as a kitten my name was just plain Jaina. When I failed to turn into an adult cat by age 2, my vet said I was in "terrible 2's", then "terrible 3's", and on and on and now I will be 7 this month (49 in human years) so I look forward to my first mid-life crisis. The mystery of my failure to become a real cat instead of an over grown kitten became clear in 2017. When I was brought to AWLA as a stray kitten the shelter staff gave me an arbitrary birthday since they didn't know my actual birthday. In 2012 they unknowingly gave me the same birthday as our "fearless leader" so when he was giving a press conference in 2017 and telling reporters to respect him because it was his birthday, I found out why I have failed to grow up and probably never will. What a legacy for a poor little kitten. I hope you will take pity on me and give me some votes. By the way, the photo my human entered is from a Halloween costume contest at my condo. I am a black cat - I don't need any costume - so I actually won "Most Original Costume" NONE.
