Here are the deets on Mia, submitted by VIA reader Catriona R!

Breed/Colouring: Brown tabby with a dashing white chest patch (like Mog the Forgetful Cat.) Mia has very special toes - she is a polydactyl and has an extra toe on each paw, making them like big soft mittens.

Hood: East Van

Habits: Rolling on her back and pawing her lovely paws at the air in a bread-making fashion, circling herself at least 7 times  before she lies down, begging for Catriona’s dinner (even when it’s just rice and beans,) and hiding under the bed every time Catriona sneezes (because of course, that’s a life-threatening situation.)

Hangouts: Under Catriona’s bed, on Catriona’s bed, on the couch.

Name: Mia

Favorite Things: Being pet all of the time, walking back and forth in circles meowing while rubbing her body up against various hard pieces of furniture, and being loved just for being adorable.

Other Info: Catriona tells us, "Mia came into my life just last week! She was given up after a divorce in a family up in Quesnel at the ripe old age of 12.  She is frickin’ adorable and a total princess.  She is one of those cats who has a lot of love to give and actually likes being around people.  I feel very lucky that she’s come into my life."

You can almost see her excess toes:
