My name is
Ishtar!

Some people say my name is the alter ego Babylonian version of my sister Innanas. We are quite distinct as you can see, though, thank you very much! My name, like hers, is a nod to all I have overcome. We were born in a shed and while we were still very small our mother was killed, probably hit by a car. Some nice people were feeding other outdoor cats in the area and rescued us. I spent an extra week outside trying to survive. I get along well with other cats and kittens and love to play. I am really curious and like to see what is going on all around. Wand toys are my favorites, along with playing with my sister. When I am not playing, I am quiet, cool, content, and a bit more aloof than Inanna. I am happy to let her be the lap cat while I sit at peoples feet. We cats are all individuals and the world would be pretty boring if we were exactly the same. Together, we make a good pair - we are bonded and must be adopted together. We would do better in a home with adults only since I am a bit more sensitive and prefer calm environments.
