A funny personality. This is how we could describe Inchala, the tabby cat of singer Andréanne A. Malette.
What is the reason that prompted you to have this cat in your home?
Inchala arrived home in March 2013. She was about 2 months old. After my break up with Olivier Dion who was allergic to cats, my first instinct was to adopt one. It was February and there were no cats anywhere … I did some research and finally found a litter of abandoned and motherless kittens in Magog. I chose the little tabby.
Why did you choose this name?
It was a bit of a ridiculous play on words: A cat. This sentence also means “God willing” … As if to say, what will happen will happen.
Are you more of a “cat” or “dog”?
I am a cat girl! By default, I am more of a cat because of my job and my pace of life, which would not suit a dog.
How to describe Inchala’s personality in a few sentences?
He’s a strange cat with a funny personality. She’s a little capricious. Sometimes we realize that she did not receive enough education from her mother. She can become extremely unpleasant. It looks like she is bipolar: in less than 0.2 seconds, she can change character. She only loves her mistress and not really other people. Despite everything, she is really very very endearing.
Tell us about an unusual or special fact about Inchala.
The sound of the harmonica thrills her. If I play, it arrives in less than 2 seconds and it becomes quite sticky. She also has disturbing tastes. She loves lime and she’s also fond of plastic. She has a fascination with bags of celery!
Tell us a funny fact about her.
I went to Banker with animals with Inchala. I had told people that she was not social, but … On the set, it was very difficult with her. She has quite a character. Remember its little bipolar side! Eventually, I had to borrow someone else’s cat to finish the show.
What is her favorite activity?
Sleep on his blanket. No matter where I place her blanket in the house, she settles there.
What is her favorite place?
I often find her basking in a ray of sunlight entering the house.
What would you have liked to know before getting this animal?
She often had patches on her body that I associated with stress. I recently learned that she was allergic to chicken at the vet. So I changed his diet accordingly. Since that time the plaques have not returned.
Who takes care of your pet when you go on tour?
When I have to leave for the long term, my parents will keep it. The problem is, they have two other cats … So it’s often war!
