Cute, huh? Here's a more accurate representation of her personality.
My Facebook photo album of her is appropriately titled "Hi, my name is trouble."
Matilda has entertained my two roommates, our friends and myself with all of her strange little quirks. Probably her most amusing factor is that she chases fairies. I'm not even kidding. There's no other explanation for her randomly tearing through the apartment, jumping at nothing and batting at the air. Even close friends who regularly visit know that this means there are fairies frolicking about.
She also has been known to attack the screen saver on our TV whenever someone leaves the DVD player paused for too long. I guess that color shifting logo that moves about the screen is just too much for her furry little self to handle.
Lately she's developed a new habit I find all too amusing. As a little bit of background, she absolutely loves going out on our balcony now that we live upstairs. No matter what time of day or current weather condition she yells at us to let her out. She generally has the intelligence to decline when we open the door and she finds out we weren't lying to her about the two feet of snow or winds reminiscent of the 100 Acre Woods. Much like me though, she has to see for herself.
Earlier this week she demanded to go out, so I let her out and shut the door while I took a shower. When I came back out she was hiding from the wind under the cooler Kelly has had upside down "airing" for the past six months. I about doubled over laughing as she scolded me and ran back into our apartment.
Oh and Louise? That's the middle name my roommate Mel has assigned to her whenever she needs two names to yell. Not all her quirks are quite so appealing. Like when she pees on my bed. But I won't get into that side of her for now.
