Mia, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mia
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tabby mix
Home: Austin, Texas, USA
 
   Doesn't she look like the picture of contentment? Mia definitely knows what she wants...everything...and lots of it. A roommate and I were looking for a friend for our male cat and picked out multiple kittens at the shelter before we picked Mia, but they all had applications for adoption. What she lacked in first impressions she made up for in personality later.

    Her older brother left with my roommie and now she has a new little brother who weighs almost literally twice as much as her. He insists she's in charge, even though he occasionally pesters her to wrestle.

    Mia has an obsession with water and putting her toys into the toilet. Not very ladylike. She also gets into the tub while the water is still halfway up her legs so she can wade around. She was carried a little too much as a kitten (who could put a cute kitten down?) and now she insists on being carried around, draped over one arm. She prefers men because they have bigger laps, stronger arms to carry her longer, and pet harder, but she puts up with me.

    She sleeps on my pillow or whatever other inconvenient spot she can pick. She has an overeating problem...she'll literally eat until she makes herself sick, so I have to monitor her food. Talk about high maintenance! But, I love her to death and can't imagine life without her antics.
