Katy

 

History: Katy was born in the wild in 2001 and arrived at Mona in 2002. She confiscated by the authorities while being walked on the chain by her owner in a touristic area (used as tourist attraction to make money).


Personalty: She is one of the higher ranked individuals in her group and therefore enjoys some privileges others don’t have. But nevertheless she acts relatively tolerant and patient especially towards newcomers within her group. As good as she can be to her kind she acts quite aggressively to humans, threatening them and always being aware if someone might be careless step to close to her installations. She then tries to grab them.
