Arlington Pet of the Week: Kimchi

This week’s Arlington Pet of the Week is Kimchi, a Himalayan cat with a bit of sass.

Here’s what her owner, Greta, had to say about her:

Say hello to Kimchi! She is my 18 month old Himalayan residing in Arlington. I am her 10 year old owner who takes good care of her and makes sure she gets plenty of play and cuddle time.

She may look like a sweet, harmless puff of fur but underneath she can be cold and ruthless but everyone still loves her. Sassy should have been her middle name!

She is often mistaken for “Grumpy Cat” when we take her out in her stroller in Clarendon to enjoy brunch or go to the park on warmer days.

She is not your average cat, she does not enjoy any cat treats or people food like chicken or fish. Her one indulgence is a few licks on tapioca or rice pudding every now and then.

She enjoys watching TV and keeps up on all Arlington current events by watching her family read ARLnow.com.
