Here are the deets on Shizuka and Mouse, submitted by VIA reader : Kevin Frew!

...

Breed/Colouring: We think they have a strong streak of Russian Blue (they have a double grey coat and general aversion to strangers.)

...

Hood: Kevin's cozy little abode on the west side. They are indoor kitties though, so unless you're peering in Kevin's window you won't see them around the 'hood.

...

Habits: Shizuka likes to eat any piece of plastic she can get her paws on. Mouse will eat anything green and leafy he can get his paws on (like his namesake critter!)

Hangouts: Mouse will chill on anything freshly-placed on top of anything else (including, but not limited to freshly-laundered or freshly-discarded clothing, empty boxes, bags, and books.) Shizuka likes any place high up (she is still spritely enough to go where her brother cannot reach.)

Names: Shizuka and Mouse
Favorite Things: Morning, afternoon, and evening cuddles on the couch or in the bed; pseudo-stalking the hummingbirds who like to torment them from just outside the balcony doors where a feeder is hung;  posing for pictures. (Kevin: "honestly I think they enjoy it - my wife once posted a photo a day for two months while I was away from home for school.")

...
Other Info: Shizuka and Mouse are brother and sister and were adopted from the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) .

VOKRA is having their 4th annual Walk for the Kitties this September! They are trying to raise $50 000 to cover rescue, vet bills, and food for all of the kitties in their care. Please consider joining the walk here: VOKRA Register or Donate!
