About Me

My name is Wildfire Smartkitty, and I'm a tortoiseshell cat (obviously). I'm very well-educated and I'm highly intelligent, if I do say so myself. I completed my undergraduate studies at Catullus College and I completed my graduate studies at The University of the Catskills. I graduated summa cat laude from both universities.

My Interests

Eating, sleeping, playing with my cat toys, staring out the window, going outside, reading (mostly fiction, poetry, science and philosophy), playing piano, creative writing, drawing, and doing crossword puzzles.

I'd like to meet:

Other cats, other animals in general, and you.

Music:

I love classical music. Khachaturian is one of my favorite composers. I also like The Dog and Cat Polka, Kitten on the Keys, Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphy, Wildfire by Wayne Shorter, The Year of the Cat, and the music from CATS, the musical.
