- There are Clorox wipes, sanitizing spray, and paper towels in the office to deal with messes.
- She's gross, what can I say
- Myrtle has a delicate digestive system and barfs regularly, something her vet has diagnosed as "sometimes cats are just like that."

## Early life and ancestry
Myrtle (born 2009) is a Himalayan rag doll cat. Humane Society volunteers estimated that Myrtle had been living on the streets for several years at the time of her capture, a hardship exacerbated by her being declawed on all fours.
Myrtle (born 2009) is a Himalayan rag doll cat. Humane Society volunteers estimated that Myrtle had been living on the streets for several years at the time of her capture, a hardship exacerbated by her being declawed on all fours. Myrtle was adopted by Claire from the Humane Society in 2014.

## Personal life
Myrtle was adopted by Claire in 2014 when she lived near Lake Bde Maka Ska. She was an only cat for several months until her sister Trudy was brought home. From Minneapolis, she moved with Claire to Minnetonka, then to Plymouth where she also lived with Samantha Espitia (née Spalding). Myrtle moved again to Champlin in 2018. In early 2021 Myrtle spent three months in Arden Hills with Kell, Claire, and Kell's parents while her home was renovated. Afterwards, her adopted father Kell moved into Château Chanders. In summer 2021, Kelsey created Myrtle's signature sofa.
Myrtle was an only cat for several months until her sister Trudy was brought home. She's moved many times and has shared her space with many people, including Samantha and Kell. In 2021, a crocheted sofa was commissioned for her as a move-in present by Kell and entered in the Creative Arts competition at the Minnesota State Fair where it went on to win 4th place.

Myrtle is the house supervisor, and recognizes the *pop up* command to beckon her when you're sitting on the sofa. She comes alive when her green ogre head toy is thrown around. She frequently greets Claire and Kell when they arrive home. Despite years living outside, Myrtle loves to roam the patio in warmer months and savor the bouquet of smells found in the wild.

## Controversies

### Bathroom protest
Starting in 2021, Myrtle stopped defecating in litter boxes
### Handling
Myrtle will crab at you when picked up.

### Familial relations
Myrtle does not get along with Trudy
Myrtle does not get along with Trudy (her sister), and often eats Trudy's food.

### Reputation
Myrtle is a misunderstood cat because she's been **deeply** hurt by people in her past. Her anxiety and caution are totally understandable, but with time she reveals her heart of gold.
