Contrarian Pet of the Week
Meet Pancake!
We told you we wanted to have fun, and we take fun seriously at The Contrarian. Each week we will share The Contrarian pet(s) of the week. (The pet need not be contrarian.) Subscribers are invited to submit their furry friend!
Name: Pancake
Age: 11
Breed: American Shorthair, maybe? (idk, she was rescued from a storm drain.)
Hobbies: Laying around, playing in the sun, cuddling, not paying rent.
Worst/Best Moment: Pancake trapped herself in the kitchen cabinetry in my apartment once. Took a whole evening to find and get her out.

Love those kitty cat paws 🐾 ❤️
A tuxie-torbie!
Tuxedo - white paws, chin, chest, tummy
Tortoiseshell - blended orange/white/black (calicoes have patches of the same colors)
Tabby - classic stripes
So does she have the dainty disdain of a tuxedo, the strong will of a tortoiseshell, or the sweet cuddliness of a tabby? Or all three?
