Lil Cat, Cyrus, And Matafi Are Princeton's Pets Of The Week

PRINCETON, NJ — Meet Lil Cat, Cyrus, and Matafi! They have been chosen as Princeton Patch's Pets Of The Week. (For a limited time Pet of the Week will run twice a week to bring some joy during the coronavirus pandemic)

"I'm nominating our cats, Lil Cat (7) and Cyrus (10), and our pup, Matafi (2), as the pets of the week. The cats are strays from Chicago, and Matafi is a rescue from somewhere in Texas. They have many shared interests, such as: napping in patches of sunlight, defending our home against insects, trying (often successfully) to eat human food, and blankets. During this chaotic time, they are a constant source of love and entertainment. We are so grateful that they are a part of our family."
