Mia is a boy and was named before we found out his gender. He was one of a litter of five from Moma Sophie. There were three boys and two girls. We adopted his mother, Sophie Moma when she was quite young and intended to have her spayed. However, we have a dog door, and she used it to go out and got pregnant before we could get her veterinarian appointment. We kept two of the kittens and adopted out the other three.
Sophie Moma was an indoor/outdoor cat and carried all the kittens, when they were tiny, out to the backyard to teach them to hunt. This led to a bounce-back of one of the kittens, Levon, who would catch birds and chipmunks. When Mia was a teenage kitten, he started limping, and we took him to the Vet and found out he had broken his back leg. He wore his first cast for almost two weeks before he managed to get it off. His second cast lasted less than a week, and we gave up after that. He was quite the dare-devil, and we suspect he fell from one of the trees while chasing birds.
We suppose there are siamese genes in his background because he has a siamese-like cry, different from his brothers or mother.
