Margaret Atwood’s school mate had her pet cat which gave birth to a litter of kittens and she gave Margaret a kitten. (Atwood, p. 72)
What did Atwood name her kitten? She called it Perky, short for Percolator.
What happened to Perky?
Before Atwood’s younger sister Ruth was born, her parents got rid of Perky. They thought cats were unsuitable to be around newborn babies. They thought it was best to send Perky away. Margaret returned home from school one day to find Perky had disappeared. She never found out what really happened to Perky.
