Today we're pleased to present the cat of VIA reader and BuenoStyle Vintage Jewelry designer Christie York. Meet Theo!

Nicknames: Chocolate Thunder, Poop Trail, Sailer, Hello Handsome, Je t'adore

Breed/Colouring: Balinese silky long coat, like a long haired Siamese but not as yowl-y and cross eyed

Hood: Mt. Pleasant

Habits: Chatting at the crows, staring at me with his unnervingly piercing blue eyes, going ballistic for anything with feathers on it, chasing after his feather toys, sliding & peeling out on the wood floor, jibbing off the couch.

Hangouts: In his basket in the bathtub - his "safe" zone. Luckily I have two bathrooms.

Other info:I finally had to start making his cat toys myself because he destroys anything store bought within days. I use feathers, fur scraps and a shit load of hot glue. Sometimes he'll fetch the toys and bring them back, which is pretty cool. When he plays, he'll sit and pant with his mouth open. When he gets the toy, he growls and takes it to his kitty cave (aka the bathtub) to chew on. He's got huge fangs that sometimes stick out of his mouth - pretty cute.

I started fostering cats through VOKRA after my old kitty Stella passed last christmas. Theo was only the second cat I fostered and I just fell for him. He's hilarious and makes me laugh every day.

Also, he looks like Crispin Glover.

Name: Theo (Theodore)
