Today’s Van City Kitty was sent to us by VIA reader Kelly Roebuck. Here’s what Kelly had to say about him:

AKA: Senor, Chairman Meow, Meow Meow, Casso

Breed/Colouring: Marmalade tabby Devon Rex

Hood: West End

Habits: Jumping and climbing up his owners for cuddles, checking the weather in the morning (uses his paw to pull down the blinds and then proceeds to push his head through the blinds to check the weather for Mom), pretending he is a basketball player with his Harley Davidson plush ball, sneaking a drink of water out of the human's glass or from the shower/bath, watching for 'birdies' out the window, chasing flies, and when not super-glued to the cat bed in front of the fireplace, he is an excellent party host - making sure to personally great all visitors at the elevator.

Hangouts: Bed in front of fireplace, kitchen, kitchen, kitchen, under the quilt, in the wardrobe snuggled in clothes, cat tree, sitting on the edge of the bathtub...and the kitchen...

Other info: Picasso's daddy is allergic to cats. This caused a dilemma for the love of his life who is obsessed with cats and could not live without one. We heard about the crazy breed—Devon Rex—that is suppose to have less fur than most cats, hence being a bit better for allergy sufferers. There are still sneezes but no death by cat (yet...ahem) allergic attack. We couldn't imagine life without Picasso. Turns out Devon Rexes are not only good for allergy sufferers, but are very social and affectionate creatures. Cuddles and purring are a-plenty.

Name: Picasso
