Perdita, a black and white cat, had more catitude than the felines alike. The 4-year-old, wound up at Mitchel County Animal Rescue, a shelter home in North Carolina, after her owner’s death. But the shelter home had a tough time as she had a not-so-adorable habit of swatting and scratching when people least expected it. In an adoption appeal, the animal rescue shared an image of the cat on Facebook, around January end, labelling her the ‘World’s Worst Cat’ and a ‘jerk.’ In the ad, they explained how she initially fooled staff into thinking her catty behaviour was because she was under the weather. The brutally honest post instantly went viral and received nearly 200 adoption applications. Perdita finally found her purrfect new home. It has only been a few days, but her owner insists she is happier and paw-sitive now. The pictures uploaded on Instagram account, dedicated to Perdita are proof. Katryn, The Cat Who Adopted Four Puppies After Losing Her Kittens and Grieving for Days, Goes Viral For Nursing and Sleeping With Them.

Cats do have inevitable mood swings, and it is not easy to deal with them. But with much love and affection, it can go all fine. Even if for a grumpy like Perdita, who now Noel is adjusting pretty well. The challenging side may not go away soon, but we are sure with her new owners’ love and care, she is going to be paw-fectly fine!
