This is the another part of the Magnet Pet Profiles series, where I will be wrapping up many of our furry (and not so furry) friends! This article will include cats, more dogs, and all of the miscellaneous critters of Magnet!

Cats:

Special Talents: she sits and jumps up for treats which I was unaware cats would do (she is somewhat like a dog), she has a special trick for escaping the house to wander, she also fits into obscure places.

Other Info: I have recently discovered she can successfully hop up into a tree and then get herself down from the tree (which i didn’t think was possible due to previous cat stereotypes about getting stuck in trees), she is named after Taylor Swift’s song Marjorie, and she was adopted from the Pounce Cat Cafe.

Miscellaneous!

Student: Elena Barber (9th)

Pet Type: ISA Brown chicken (hen)

BEST Qualities: Cayenne is very social, curious, and inquisitive. She’s always scrambling around my feet when I walk into the chicken run and she loves to peck and scratch at the ground next to my foot. 

WORST Qualities: She LOVES treats and will do anything for them- Not inherently bad, but she likes to peck them out of your hand and steal them from her flockmates! When I feed her mealworms out of my hand, she is sometimes so enthusiastic that she pecks my skin by accident (whereas her sister Moon is much gentler and would never get my skin)

Special Talents: Cayenne will jump pretty high for lettuce!! She also loves to pose for photos.

Other Info: When Cayenne was a chick, she would always turn her head and just stare with one eye- it was sort of unnerving! Nowadays, if I get the camera out, she likes to get super close to the camera and I always end up with pictures of her head, eyes, and beak. Another interesting thing: one time she ate a baby red tailed skink. She got bitten by it in the process!
