VIA reader Erin Reiger sent us two cats for the price of one! I'll let her introduce them: I have two of the most adorable little furballs and they're completely different which keeps it spicy—so I thought I'd share. Especially since one has a special adoption story!

Nicknames: Kitten girl, handsome guy.

Breed/Colouring: Domestic shorthair mutts. (Prudence is the small black-and-white cat, and Tony is the plump brown tabby.)

Hood: East Van Kittehs

Habits: Tony: eating, meowing to go outside, snuggling the shit out of you, wanting your attention, laying on his back spread-eagle. Loves boxes and sleeping on purses and coats.

Prudence: Being a prude, getting scared, looking for a way out, hiding, running around at night, sucking up to you when you're sleeping, drinking water out of the bathtub tap.

Hangouts: Tony: On your lap, playing dice in the alley way with the other east van cats in our hood (which is a ton).

Prudence: My room, hiding in a closet perhaps.

Other info: I got Tony one day when I was going out to breakfast and walked by a Tysol and saw cats inside. Forgotten Felines had brought a few cats in that day to try and get them adopted. I picked up Tony and it was love at first sight. I didn't have the money and TECHNICALLY my apartment didn't allow cats—but I broke the rules and my friend lent me the money; who would leave behind this incredibly loving creature? We've been together ever since. He's even had house parties. I adopted Prudence from a friend's aunt. She has a sketchy personality, but her and Tony cuddle. He taught her everything she knows, and she can be freaking adorable and loving (on her terms only.)

Names: Prudence and Tony Button
