A picture of the occasionally mentioned but not often shown Mia, my parents' OAP cat.
She's not all that friendly, although I'ver been wooing her since I moved in and she gets on tolerably well with me in the mornings before Mum & Dad are up. She comes into the toilet and lets me fuss her while I am on the throne. And she lets me clean her eyes. And she doesn't struggle if I pick her up - although she is obviously unhappy with the procedure. That part is about me being grabby rather than wooing, but she's slowly getting used to it.

She's not a lap cat either, although she will sometimes put two paws on Mum's legs in order to facilitate stroking. I think Mum believed her to be a friendly cat until Diz came to stay. Also she thought Mia was tiny until he came! In fact she is very small, but Singas are the smallest pedigree cats and are dwarfed but your average garden Tom. She's barely larger than Diz and I think most of that is fluff. You can tell she's getting older though - under the fur you can feel her bones. She still catches the odd bird though, and has a mad half-hour racing through the house. Lots of life in the old girl yet.
