“Choop is a cat that likes to be wherever you are. She loves to nap with her human parents, play hide and seek, seize hair ties mid-flight, swat at soap bubbles, jump and bury herself into (boxes, bags, drawers, and the refrigerator…if she can find a way), and seems content with life when a Muddy Waters record is playing. She sneezes when she’s happy, silently meows at birds when she sees them outside, loves to scratch the curtains to let her human parents know it’s time to wake up in the morning, and is overall a really wonderful and highly charactered cat. She is more than a cat though, she is our little heart.”
