History:

Valkyrie came to us via “one of those ads” on facebook that her rescuer could not ignore. We are choosing not to go into the details.

Personality:

Do you like kittens? Do you like their playfulness? Their energy? Their boundless curiosity? We call Valkyrie ‘the Eternal Kitten’: chronologically, she’s an adult, but you’d never know it from the way she acts.

Valkyrie loves to be on the go. She is more likely to run somewhere than walk, and there is always somewhere for her to be.

Playfulness? Valk loves to play! She will chase a string-toy, leap to catch it, fight it on the floor. Fuzzy mice will be knocked about, thrown down stairs, deliberately pushed under appliances just so Valk can pull them out again. She sometimes even drops them at her humans’ feet, so they can thrown. Bits of cardboard, a dust-bunny, a dropped button: anything is a toy to Valkyrie. But she also loves having a playmate. Older cats, younger kittens: if they run or wrestle, they can be Valkyrie’s pal. A common sight in her foster-home is a couple of blurs racing past; which was Valkyrie and which her friend, and who was chasing whom, who knows? And wrestling? Oh, yeah, a good tussle is always fun, no matter the size of the ‘opponent’.

As for curiosity, if a drawer or cupboard opens, Valk’s there. Running water? Definitely! Whatcha eatin’? What’s that noise? Did you see that outside? It’s all grist for Valkyrie’s ever-churning mind. And on that subject, she’s smart; a fast-learner, she’ll be a step ahead of where you think she should be.

But, at last, she tires out, and will fold herself up for a snooze. Then again, if she sees you sitting down, she might decide that your lap is the perfect spot. She may be off again in a minute, of course, or she may fall asleep for half an hour.

That’s Valkyrie, the Eternal Kitten.
