This week's cat was sent to us by VIA reader Hayley Cipro. Here's what Hayley had to say about Oliver:

Nicknames: Señor Meow Meow

Breed/Colouring: I was told he is Ragdoll, but he def looks like he is part Maine Coon

Hood: Mount Pleasant

Habits: He likes to wait under the bed until you walk by and attack! I usually almost pee my pants it’s so funny. He sucks on Gauge's (my dog's) ears in the morning. Too cute. I can’t bring anything new in the house without him investigating it. If I leave my groceries on the floor for more than 5 minutes there will be little cat bites out of my apples and the bag of cat or dog food will have a big hole in it. He also likes to watch things in the reflection of a mirror I have in my fire place instead of just turning around. Maybe he thinks he’s being sneaky? I don’t know. Oh, and he play fights with the dog.

Hangouts: He likes to hang out on the roof, watch all the street action. He also spends a lot of time at my neighbour's place. Poor girl can't leave her windows open without him popping in, sometimes at 5 am.

Other info: When I got ‘him’ I was told it was a girl. So his name was originally Olive. When I took him to the vet, I learned otherwise. So now his name is Oliver. Pretty sure he’s the best cat ever.

Name: Oliver
