If anyone adopts Perdita the cat from a North Carolina rescue centre, they will know exactly what they're getting.
Believing that honesty is the best policy, the centre describes her as "the world's worst cat". Her adoption ad on Facebook says, “We thought she was sick. Turns out she’s just a jerk.”
The honesty tactic has helped get pets adopted in the past and the centre hopes it will work for Perdita, too.
According to the post, the feisty feline likes “staring into your soul until you feel as if you may never be cheerful again.”
She dislikes “the color pink, kittens (yuk they are so chipper), dogs, children, the Dixie Chicks, Disney movies, Christmas and last but NOT least… HUGS.”
“We thought if we highlighted her personality in a humorous way, the person with a personality to match hers can adopt,” said the centre's Amber Lowery.
It's a tactic that seems to be working. So far the centre has received many requests to adopt Perdita.
Perdita doesn't hate everything. Her likes include: "Jump scares (her specialty), lurking in dark corners, being queen of her domicile' and fooling shelter staff into thinking she's sick."

If I lived closer (and lived somewhere where I could have a pet), I'd be tempted. I can be a jerk too.
