AGATHA CHRISTIE & 3 KITTY-MYSTERIES TO SOLVE! Are You Up to the Challenge?

The plot: due to an unforeseen health emergency, an incredibly sweet kitty was left behind and is in need of a forever family

The scene of the crime: Burlington County, NJ

The victim: Agatha Christie, a beautiful mature domestic shorthair

Mystery #1: Could She Be the Chillest Kitty Ever? 

If you’ve ever owned a cat (obviously, we mean if you’ve ever been owned by a cat), you know that certain situations arouse terror in your kitty and family alike. Undertakings such as getting her into a carrier and enduring a vet appt can be quite traumatic for everyone involved. This is a universal kitty-ism…or so we thought, until we met Agatha Christie. 

Despite the fact that she was just placed in an unfamiliar foster home, this little sweetheart didn’t bat an eye when we pulled out the carrier. In fact, she posed for us (see photo below). How was this possible?! Using incredible might, agility, and elusiveness to impede capture in a carrier is a top 10 kitty law!

Still amazed, we made the drive to our vet’s office, knowing that although she surprised us once, Agatha Christie was sure to have a literal hissy fit upon arrival. Once again, she proved us wrong. Straying from expectations, this little girl sauntered out of the carrier and took a seat on the exam table. What?! No yowling? No hissing? No scratching or biting? Nope—she just struck another pose for a photo. Who WAS this mystical creature?! 

In countless other situations since her foster family took her in, Agatha Christie has reinforced her tranquility. She doesn’t even meow for food at dinnertime. 

But she’s not all-rest-and-no-play. This little girl has a very playful side! When she’s feeling frisky, she lets her foster family know by jumping into an Amazon box (refer to adorableness below). The plot thickens…

Mystery #2: How Did She Get So Chill? 

If you’re getting suspicious by now, we don’t blame you! The question is, how did Agatha Christie get to be so easygoing? 

Her background is something of a mystery itself, although we have a few clues. She did have a family, but an emergency health issue arose and separated them. As there was no next of kin to care for her, the local police opted to take her to a shelter. There she remained for several months, until we relocated her to a foster home. 

Did that time in the shelter have any effect on her whatsoever? Did she witness something that reinforced her placid personality, or was it a red herring? These questions remain unsolved.  

Mystery #3: Who Will Be Her Lucky New Forever Family? 

This is clearly the mystery of the moment. The evidence of Agatha Christie’s wonderfulness is overwhelming. She’s a sweet, loving, playful, affectionate kitty who needs and deserves to be part of a family. NOT making this happen would be the true crime.

Who will be the clever ones to take her in? So many suspects with so much motive and opportunity!
