Did you know that there is a button-talking cat that ADAMANTLY identifies as a fish, swims, paddle boards, does ballet and plays the piano with a cos-playing mermaid mom, and an emotional support stuffed mouse that the "fish" pushes around in a hamster ball across her button board to make her mouse-toy speak also?

Her name is Flounder and she lives in Hilton Head. Flounder loves adventure and is terrified of stranger humans. She is addicted to the movie Pocahontas and will scream her head off if it's not on in a constant loop, the play count is in the 10s of thousands. When her fish parents want to watch something else, Flounder will complain using her buttons and she has to be told, “later”. Her home has three Christmas trees and when it’s time to take down the human tree, Flounder decides, which incidentally happened last week sometime around July 25th, so now there are only two, one of which is a cat tree. You and your cat can take ballet lessons with Flounder, buy the book about Mouse Toy that she wrote or one of her paintings. Find Flounder on YouTube or on Instagram & Threads, @flounder_meatloaf, she’s a little miracle and there is so much more to know, like she doesn’t really sleep at all and she prefers to perch on a toilet rather than use a litter box.
