Today marks the unofficial fourth birthday of my darling cat, mia! Happy Birthday Sweet One! Why "unofficial?" you may ask. Well, allow me to provide you with the answer...
her story:
Mia spent the first two years (roughly) of her life in the bronx (what, what!!). She was a bronx baby. Grew up on the mean streets. Apparently developed such prodigious street smarts that she was even too much for her adopted sibling to handle! Since she and "mr. how could you not love your adorable sister?!? cat" apparently battled it out more times than their owner would have preferred, the owner made the choice (and clearly adorable, sweet, charming, hilarious had no impact on the decision) to seek out a new home for mia. Said owner was my old roommate's co-worker at the time. So my roommate anna received the mass email looking for those interested in adopting mia. Anna, also a fan of cats, and i considered the possibility of bringing mia into the big city to live with us. After giving it some thought we decided that we would proceed with the adoption! This was about two years ago. When the owner brought mia to us, we asked about mia's birthday. Her response "um, it was sometime around now, two years ago." (mostly helpful information, mostly...but that would have to do.) Thus, mia's unofficial birthday is today!
After the drop-off, mia was frightened and hid under my bed for two days. Attempting to gently coax her out did nothing, so, at the suggestion of my mom, i used the ole' tough love tactic and pulled her out against her will, assuring her that i was nice and that all was well. She quickly made the adjustment after that. (thanks mom!) When anna and i were no longer roommates, it was evident then that i would take mia with me. Mia has been such a joy to have in my life. She's adorable! (to back up this statement, see pics below)

precious!
like any girl, she's very protective of shoes
making my bed is cause for celebration
putting my clothes away is cause for a good afternoon nap
Happy Birthday Mia!!
