A new kitty twice a week! Yup, we want YOUR cat photos and stories! Click here to find out how your cat can appear on Van City Kitty.

Today's gorgeous Russian Blue was sent to us by VIA reader Jessica Fletcher. Here's what Jessica had to say about him:

Breed/Colouring: Russian Blue

Hood: West End

Habits: Sleeping/purring/being aggressively cuddly/ getting treats/eating until he barfs

Hangouts: Bed/green chair

Other info: I got Gio from the SPCA last June. He was ten at the time and was apparently a homeless man's cat until the mites in his ear gave him an infection that turned into a massive hematoma and he was surrendered and operated on. I was told he was the best cat there but he had been there a while and they didn't expect him leaving soon because he was kinda old and ugly with his half ear. I feel in love with him and he's honestly the best and most friendly, cuddly cat I have ever encountered in my life.

Name: Gio
