Tina and Teddington Twingersnap, the two-headed snake pinata from the Viva Pinata cartoon

Chief Executive Loaf

Polite and gentle with the humans in her family, stern with the other cats; loves to spend most of her time relaxing

Wet food, sleeping on articles of clothing, having her chin scratched, having a whole room to herself, Brutus (the neighborhood stray she has a crush on, and likely Darwin's father)

Being kicked off the furniture, being petted for too long, houseguests

I adopted Tina from an animal shelter when she was a kitten and I was a child.

Tina is the only cat who is allowed to be in my room by herself.

Nova likes to follow Tina around, sniff her, make sounds at her, climb on top of her, and do other things that annoy Tina, sometimes for hours on end. Tina growls and hisses at Nova and swats her in the face, but she cares about Nova deep down and will comfort her if something bad happens.

Tina does not interact with Darwin much - they give each other space. Tina tolerates Darwin's presence more than Nova's and sometimes does not mind sleeping on the same bed or couch as him.
