If one is in search of character from their prospective feline family, they would be hard-pressed to find better examples of it than the pair of Meg and Percy. These tabby siblings are practically inseparable, and they can often be found playing upstairs in CPW's headquarters.
Meg, full name Megatron, is the older of the siblings and the primary cause of their separation from the shelter's other cats. A big girl with a larger personality, Meg is easily distinguished from her brother for more reasons than just her cycloptic appearance. Quick to greet any visitor with a somewhat low-pitched 'meow', she is quite an opinionated creature, and when she and her brother lived in the shelter's main room she would often find herself getting into trouble with other cats.
Quickly after the pair started to spend most of their days in the west wing, a further facet of her personality showed itself: Megatron is a very cuddly lap cat. Volunteers often, upon going up to visit the two, find themselves with Megatron seated on their lap [and her little brother generally sitting alongside]. The only real exception to this is when there is a particularly strong sunbeam somewhere in the room, in which case Meg usually prefers that, leaving Percy to sit on or next to the free lap as he desires.
Speaking of Percy, full name Percy-Pie, he is both the younger and the more timid of the two. Where Meg will generally respond to visitors with her recognisable meow, Percy typically responds to their approach more cautiously. Oftentimes he tries to hide away beneath one of the upstairs room's couches, only to come back out either upon recognition of the interloper or once his braver sister shows him her lack of fear.
When Percy has decided that you are his friend, he will often respond to an outstretched hand with a dolphin-like hop to take a pat. Though he may not be the most adventurous gentleman, he makes up for his lower confidence with a lot of love; love that is by no means reserved only for his older sister! Distinguished from her not only by virtue of his binocular nature, but his white paws and slightly larger build, Percy-Pie certainly has enough room in his stature for however much affection he may receive!
In summary: whoever is lucky enough to bring these two into their home won't only have little need for any more pets, they likely won't have enough room!
saving the world, one cat at a time!
