Schtynky is a black female cat with big yellow eyes like the moon. She is very moody, sometimes happily purring but the next minute she could be hissing and spitting.

           When Schtynky was a kitten she used to stand on the roof and meow very loudly. My Dad would refer to her as "That stinky cat". So when we kept her, we called her Schtynky.

        Schtynky loves to run around everybody's legs and rub her head on them. In this way people trip and fall. Sometimes tripping the guests.

          She eats stuff I never ever expected cats to touch. The other day ,while I was cooking dinner, I saw her munching on something that had fallen under the kitchen table. When I looked closely I was surprised to see  a huge chunk of boiled cauliflower in her mouth.
         
            She gets excited about different new smells. She especially loves the smell of toothpaste. Once she jumped onto the washbasin and grabbed the toothpaste tube in her mouth. Her sharp teeth made tiny holes in the tube. Later when I squeezed the tube, toothpaste spilled out of the holes. This caused a real big mess but it was also very funny.

            One day my little brother poured some Quick glue on the back of her neck. All her fur in that area came off. Her neck became bald and she looks really weird, somewhat like a penguin.

           Schtynky is scared of loud footsteps. If I wear high heels or boots, she does not recognize my feet as a part of me . She runs and hides. She comes to me only if I wear slippers or sneakers.    

       I really love my kitty Schtynky. She is so mischievous, cute and funny.
