fun story: we were on vacation and discussing to get another cat when our cat sitter called to ask us why we did not tell her we had a new cat (she was worried she was not leaving enough food)
We had no idea what she was talking about... turns out kiki learnt to open a window my wife closed but did not lock and voila, Akira came through the window and chose to stay
This is her, the day she chose our home for herself
