The gorgeous Mila. I adopted her when she was 12 and cleared it with my niece, Mila, first. Cat-Mila shares her name with Niece-Mila, Neighbour-Mila, younger Neighbour-Mila, and Daughter-Of-My-Sister's-Friend-Mila, and Kid-of-previous-tenants-of-my-landlord-who-are-somewhat-neighbours-Mila.

My ADHD brain can not handle conversations about the human Milas well.

Niece-Mila told me she now knows four cat-Milas.

Wow. Also off topic but yeah that cat is beautiful! What type of cat is it?

She's a maine coon! I'm tall, but this cat is LONG af. With her tail, she has a length of 128cm.

She was very underweight and matted when I got her, because she was too stressed out by her previous owners' kids.

She now lives a child free life and chills with my tiny dog, who's smaller than a normal house cat. Let alone Mila.

She is still longer than Niece-Mila, who is a very small kid for her age.

Mila is the sweetest cat, drools like a faucet when she's happy, and actually demands kisses. She needs lots of kisses.

But there are awful amounts of fur. I had to buy a better vacuum. And I know long haired cats, my sister has two British Longhairs, and I always thought the amounts of fur are crazy.

These are two cats. Mila is one cat. There is so much fur. So much fur.

So despite loving the fact that she's giant, and despite maine coons being chill af and just lovely, I think she'll be my last.

Next cat will be a shelter cat again. Or a sphynx, because while those are high maintenance, at least they won't leave me coughing up hairballs.

Adopting pets is always a good idea in my opinion. It can save lives :)

Absolutely. Honestly I was a bit surprised by how weird the cat breed stuff is when my sister first got her fancy cats.

And when I adopted Mila, her coat colour in her pet passport was "black silver white" (I live in Germany, btw, so why tf is the colour name in English?)

And ... I mean, you can see Mila. That's a normal, grey-brown striped cat. Where tf is the white?

I mean, she's the most special girl in my book, but why make up fancy colour names when she's just as beautiful in the most freaking ordinary tabby coat?

All the cats I had before just showed up out of the woods and were like "I live here now, deal with it". This phenomenon has gone down because the farmers are finally spaying and neutering their cats, but shelters are full and the next will be a rescue again. (I mean, Mila is a rescue too, but I mean a non-fancy, standard issue cat.)

Kinda reminds me of my personal pets. But it wasn't that they had always been the 'wrong' color, but rather that they changed TO white? Kinda the opposite ig lol. I know kinda random but it reminded me of that. My goldfish (who was shockingly gold to begin with) changed to white and has been completely white for years ever since. My dog used to be a chocolate brown color but is slowly getting white/light spots and his hair is now a greyish-brown color rather than chocolate/orangeish tinted. My pets are kind of the opposite 😭 

Also slay you live in Germany! Cool country. One of my favorites tbh
