"It’s not every day you get to lay eyes on a precious, Puss in Boots lookalike wonderful little owl baby!" she said. "We are so lucky to have her. We loved seeing all the other adorable cats in (Maine and New Hampshire). Cat people are the best!" Poppy emerged as the winner of a contest that started with 200 cats and involved five rounds of voting. Young and her boyfriend, Will Geoghegan, live in Portland, Maine, with Poppy, which she calls their "only child, and she's as spoiled as you'd expect." Poppy is a Scottish Fold cat the couple adopted through a North Carolina breeder. She said she became aware of the breed because Taylor Swift famously has two of them.
