Ariel

Ariel, an orange cat, grins with her eyes closed against a blurry background.

The political intern with the most longevity in the Zipser household is Ariel. Adopted from Cat’s Cradle in 2014 when she was an older kitten, she has lived with Jordan ever since.

She is a ginger tabby with an attitude to match: this spicy kitty was named appropriately because she always wants to be where her people are (she just doesn’t have a lot of love for the other kitties in the household).

Favorite treat: cream or cheese, anything dairy. She even loves cheesy crackers like Goldfish! She also loves popcorn and will beg for it.

Secret behavior: Ariel likes to play fetch! She’ll bring her mom one of her toys sometimes and then wait patiently for it to be thrown so she can bring it back.

Real talk: Ariel talks a lot. One of her big noises is a soft coo when she wants attention, but she also grumbles and hisses when she needs to.
