'Jerk cat' missing in North Carolina returns home after flyer goes viral

Cats are jerks, according to their reputation. After posting fliers for her missing “jerk cat,” a North Carolina woman was reunited with her owner, uh, we mean pet.

“Babou is a 6 year old, spayed, grey female shorthair with no chip and no collar, about 10 pounds,” the flyer began. “She’s been missing since Friday morning, June 9th.

“She’s mostly friendly but may run if you try to catch her – she’s kind of a jerk, too. She has strong opinions about things.”

Mary Irwin said she had been searching in the “pouring rain” on Thursday, but headed home. Babou, the missing cat in question, returned home on her own around 10 p.m.

Bipolar cat but he loves the jerk so.
Me? Not so much. His other cat is a real sweetie and is dominated by the unmerciful jerk.

Males tend to be nicer than females... I have 2 boys and 1 female who I have nicknamed Bitchy Pooh, she bites me when I pet her. The boys are sweet
Handling them at work we find that Orange males are AWESOME, we see a Torti or a Calico (both females) coming we all yell "not it"
All of my scratches and bites that required medical attention and lots of antibiotics came from females
But that said, I love cats. I love their independence, their attitude, and they tend to be lower maintenance than my dog.

From the couple's wedding ceremony.

“I will be by your side for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health until death do us part or Babou finally accomplishes the world domination we both know she is plotting,” West said in his 2016 vows.
