Ptolemy (p is silent, pronounced tolamee)or Ptoly (pronounced “Tali”) for short is a curious
domestic shorthair kitty, born around 9/21/08. Also born on the streets of Brooklyn, Ptoly was the tiniest of the litter, often pushed out of the food dish. Once adopted, he flourished and grew into a strong, handsome, muscle man. Full of personality, he loves to be held over your shoulder and loves bagel crumbs (he’ll wait politely for you to finish before he asks for them). He too loves to play with catnip toys and is hopeless at laser chasing. Ptoly is generally disinterested in kids. However, there are times that he does not want to be pet, and he will warn you if that’s the case; if you push him too far, he will nip. Also, keep phone chargers and earphone cords out of his way as he likes to chew on them. He is front declawed and would like to be adopted with his sister Emma.
