cat of the month

The girlblog! Cat of the Month for september is Ruby from Girl, Interrupted (1999)!

Ruby is a grey short-haired cat that originally belongs to former Claymoore Hospital patient Daisy (Brittany Murphy) but is later taken care of by Susanna (Winona Ryder) and the other women from her ward. She ends the film under the primary ownership of Polly (Elisabeth Moss).

Ruby is a quiet, mild-mannered cat that forms close attachments to her caregivers quickly. She becomes noticeably distressed when she sees Daisy in danger but gladly accepts the affection of those seeking to comfort her, shown in her willingness to be adopted by Susanna and later by Polly. She enjoys the company of people and provides them with solace in their times of need.

Ruby remains in safe care with the women at Claymoore Hospital. Meow.
