Name, age, sex, breed: Biggie Smalls, 6 years old, female, domestic short hair dilute tortoiseshell

Owner, city: Sarah Han, San Francisco

How I got my name: I was named Biggie Smalls to match my sister P. Kitty‘s hip-hop-inspired name. Just as Biggie Smalls was P. Diddy’s bro, I’m P. Kitty’s sis. Biggie also is an appropriate name for me because I’m a little chubby and food is my number one interest.

How we met: Sarah found me at the San Francisco SPCA when I was just a tiny kitten. Pawesome co-founder Sonia was there and was the one to pick me out and place me in Sarah’s arms. Once Sarah held me, I was the only kitty she considered and soon after, I was her cat!

Siblings: P. Kitty, my moody, bully sister that I both fear and adore.

Personality type: Gentle, sweet, curious, sensitive, and skittish. I’m like the girl at the school dance who declined your invitation to dance, but who will be watching you all night from the bleachers with eyes that say I wish I had said yes.

Pet peeves: Loud noises (the vacuum is my enemy), people who lunge at me, being in a cat carrier.

Favorite place to lounge: Nowadays, you’ll usually find me on my Like Kittysville bed, on top of a heated sleeping pad. If P’s not hogging her attention, I’ll try to be near Sarah. When I’m scared, you’ll probably find me under the clawfoot tub in the bathroom.

Favorite foods: Greenies!

Forbidden indulgences: Getting undivided attention from Sarah (P. Kitty rarely allows it), sniffing P. Kitty’s butt

Strangest habits: Rolling on my back like a sea otter. Shaking my tail like a rattlesnake. Biting to show affection (I learned it from P. Kitty who loves to bite me).

Stand-out physical feature: My muted dilute tortoiseshell coloring and huge owl-like eyes.

Things you might not know if I didn’t tell or show you: I have a really funny sounding meow. It’s hoarse and crackly. Although I’m shy, I go crazy for cat treats!
