DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND: Queenie the Cat (what she really does in the UA&P cafeteria)

Queenie is a possibly former stray cat who found a home and a family in our lovely UA&P cafeteria. No one really knows where she spends the night, if she hides behind the bushes or she simply leaves the campus to sleep somewhere else. No one knows for sure what time of the day she visits or what time of the day she leaves the campus.All we know is that she is a regular in the cafeteria. Some see her in the morning, some see her during lunch time and some see her during the afternoon breaks. Different people have different reactions upon seeing her; some find her cute, some are disgusted and some even goes out of their way to pet her and even give her some leftover food. Whatever their reaction is, Queenie surely does not mind. She just can't help but keep on coming back to the UA&P cafeteria.
Why do you think Queenie hangs around so much in our cafeteria? Being a former stray cat, food must have been scarce. She must have had to dig and paw garbage bins in order to find food for everyday.
Here in the UA&P cafeteria, she no longer have to look far and even dig for food. Thanks to those who do not practice CLAYGO, Queenie only needs to choose a table with an abundant amount of leftover food, leap on it, and VOILA! She can know enjoy the delectable meals from Blue and Gold. If she's lucky, she can even have a piece of chicken and gravy from KFC.
Since there are a lot of students int he cafeteria during lunch time (as we have seen in the last post), Queenie usually goes food hunting during the after lunch hours when most of the students have already gone off to their classes. She stays behind even until snack time when there are only a few people and she can comfortably mingle with them without being shooed away.
Queenie has already become a part of the UA&P family. Ask anyone from the school, and most would surely recognize her. While some may be disgusted by her presence in the cafeteria, as mentioned a while ago, we cannot ignore the fact that she may have already become the university's lovable pet.
