Collared today: Rosie

NAME: Rosie AKA MedusaJ when on Twitter.
 
OWNER: Marie AKA Mum.
 
HOW THEY MET: Mum saw a sad looking kitty in the window of the petshop as she passed. That kitty was me. The sun was shining in and I was sitting in my empty food bowl looking very hot, unhappy and in need of some TLC. Mum went inside and I tried to hide. Mum took one look at how scared I was and immediately bought me.

She had no intention of buying a cat when she went out as she had already adopted three strays and though that was enough. One look from my baby blue eyes and she could not leave me in the hot window.
 
AGE: 12.
 
HOME: Liverpool, UK.
 
BREED: Plain old Moggie.

 BEST TRICK: Mum throws a gift bow and I run to pick it up and bring it back to Mum – that trick gets me special treats!
 
FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Sitting on Mum’s knee drooling.
 
FAVORITE FOOD: Anything Mum eats.
 
FUNNIEST MOMENT: I was sitting on the back of the sofa and Mum’s Dad was sitting there. He was eating a ham sandwich, I jumped up, swatted it out of his hand, ran to where it fell and started to lick it all over. That man was very mad at me.
 
A MAMA'S KITTY: I hate being alone and shake when Mum gets home and gives me cuddles. I HATE Mum talking on the phone so I yowl so loud that she can’t hear the other person. I love having my paw stroked and being hand-fed chicken.
 
IF ROSIE HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: Life's good when you have a full belly.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
