Mia (and Morris) [redux]

Mare says: I adopted Mia and her brother Morris from a shelter in Los Angeles when they were about five months old. They are brother and sister, with drastically different personalities. Morris (shorthair) is more the guardian, protector, and loving lap kitty. Mia (longhair) is much more reserved, anxious, and aloof. Morris will be the first to jump on your lap and give kisses. Mia, however, will wait until everything is calm and no one is moving and then she'll crawl up next to you on the couch, usually just at arm's length. Even their choice of toys is drastically different. Morris loves balls and toys with lights, while Mia prefers fleece blankets and things with feathers. Before they were comfortable in my apartment, Mia would curl up by herself in a corner, and Morris would run up to her and wrap his arm around her and they would sleep like that all night. If you're looking to adopt, don't overlook the older kittens at the shelter. They are wonderful!
