Van City Kitty: Meet Mickey and Dexter!

A new kitty once a week! Click to find out how your cat can appear on Van City Kitty.

Here are the deets on :

Breed/Colouring: Burmese, Brown and Tan with BIG blue eyes!

Hood: Main Street

Habits: Mickey is an excellent stealth ninja when it comes to the art of camouflage and hiding.

Hangouts: Under the covers, under the bed, under the laundry,聽under ANYTHING鈥r snoozing on top of girlie pillows.

Other info:聽Mickey is the ultimate definition of a 鈥淔raidy Cat鈥� if he hears a blade of grass break he is off and running faster than Katniss in the Hunger Games. Despite many human roommates attempts, Mickey is not an easy cat to befriend. He may come out of hiding for a quick sniff and if you鈥檙e lucky a pet聽or two but then he quickly scampers off to his hiding place again. The bedroom is his sanctuary and he always feels聽most relaxed there, always ready for belly rubs and lots of purring.聽Mickey recently got a new roomate/brother named Dexter. Mickey isn鈥檛 too sure about his giant new friend but he鈥檚 trying to make it work.

Name: Dexter

Breed/Colouring: Heinz 57, Grey and White

Hood: Main Street

Habits: Stalking, creeping, chattering at birds, running from one聽end of the house to the other while drifting around all of the corners, doing chin ups on the window sill,聽scoping out every square inch of the household (top of the fridge included), eating聽and聽being fat.

Hangouts: The window sill, on top of his scratching tower or聽anyone鈥檚 lap.

Other info: Named after TV鈥檚 most loveable聽serial killer, Dexter Morgan, this kitty does his best to live up to his name. Although he has never actually聽killed anything, he likes to practice his skills聽by picking fights with Mickey and his old best friend (Boba Fett, a German Shepard who was 10 times his size).聽He is only one year old so he聽is learning new聽skills every day. Most recently Mickey has been giving him boxing lessons and聽is聽teaching him聽agility, learning how to jump up聽gracefully instead of pulling and dragging聽his 21lbs up with聽his two front feet.聽When he鈥檚 not stalking and watching Mickey鈥檚 every move, he has a hard time understanding why Mickey doesn鈥檛 want to cuddle with him. Dexter is very sweet and loveable but unfortunately not all of the lights are on upstairs.
