Meet Merriam Webster — the Tiny Editor With a Big Personality!
Found outside a DC Chick-Fil-A and down on her luck, Merriam Webster is now thriving in foster care and ready to proofread her way into your heart. This petite wordsmith may have had a rough start, but she’s turned out to be a quirky, playful, and endlessly entertaining companion.
Playtime Expert (See Also: “Fun,” Defined by Merriam Webster)
Merriam has very strong opinions on what counts as a good toy, and she’s happy to provide her own dictionary-style definitions.
- Mouse toy (noun) — A small object to hook with one claw and launch across the room at Mach 3.
- C-cell battery (noun) — A perfectly acceptable toy despite human objections; excellent for early-morning clattering.
- Hand or foot (noun) — A petting device that also functions as a chaseable, bap-able plaything.
She’s creative, energetic, and takes her fun seriously.
A Foodie in the Making
Churu and other flavorful tubes? Merriam’s official ruling: delicious. She’ll chirp her endorsement every time.
Low-Drama Lounger
Merriam is a cat-tree connoisseur who rotates nap spots depending on mood, vibe, and perhaps lunar cycle. She’ll come play in her foster’s room at bedtime, then quietly slip away to one of her secret, undisclosed sleeping locations. (The editor refuses to cite her sources on this.)
A Gentle Soul Who Blossoms With Feline Friends
While shy at first, Merriam gains confidence from having another friendly cat around. She likes being near the resident cat, has been caught grooming him (and getting groomed back), and seems to take social cues from her feline companion. For Merriam, a resident cat isn’t just a friend—it’s part of her support glossary.
Quirks That Make Her Merriam
- Burrows under bed sheets like a cozy little footnote
- Gets enthralled by TV, especially fast-moving scenes
- Watches football with the focus of someone reviewing a playbook
- Quiet, chirpy, and delightfully expressive
Who She’s Looking For
Merriam Webster would thrive in a home with another cat who can help her feel secure and bring out her curious, playful side. She’s perfect for someone who appreciates a gentle companion with a big imagination and a love for redefining what it means to be a cat.
If you’re ready for a cat who brings joy, mischief, and the occasional revised definition of “toy,” Merriam Webster is ready to write her next chapter with you.
