Cleopatra is a tuxedo kitty who lives with Jessica Mailhiot, production and outreach administrator with the Fountain School of Performing Arts.

Name: Cleopatra — Greek for "Famous in her Father."  My father "Guisseppe or Joe" was my owner's dad's cat, and he was an epic feline.

Nickname: Teo or Pooper Schnooper (I prefer the former).

Species/breed: Tuxedo Kitty (of Italian and New Brunswick descent).

Age: 13 years

Fave food: Chips — preferably Ruffles Bacon and Cheddar, and please break them up into small pieces as well!

Special tricks: Leaping in the air for little toys made of pipe cleaners that were made for me by my stepsister Lauren.

Best quality: Morning belly cuddles, and very very loud purrs. I'm good at those.   

Social media platform or handle, if available: I'm too old for social media — plus my mommy works in it all day long and posts lots of pictures of me regularly.
