Meet Pablo Diablo, submitted by regular VIA reader Ian Johnston. Pablo is allegedly "quite affable and influential, and if featured will tweet it out to all his cat social networks." Wicked! Cat fame is ours!

Nicknames: Also answers reluctantly to Sgt. Bagels

Breed/Colouring: Domestic black short hair with crazy persian poof tail

Hood: East Vancouver

Habits: Coming up with neat stoic sleeping positions; experiments with gravity and objects on tables; writing Aristocats fan fiction and analyzing Springsteen lyrics.

Hangouts: Will not go near Commercial Drive but has a vast knowledge of all of its backstreets, alleys and yards.

Other info: Pablo was found as a stray at Main & Hastings by a friend of mine several years ago. He spent his first couple months at an art studio just off of Main St and was impeccably trained by one of the artists there. I came and picked him up by wrapping him in a towel and taking him home in a cab. Also, fun fact: Pablo loves to sit on paper and cardboard. Place a nice sheet of loose leaf anywhere in the room and he will almost definitely plant himself upon it.

Are you looking for a (or another) little furry beast to love? Please check out Happy Tails, our weekly segment featuring the BC SPCA and one of the animals they currently have available for adoption. (You may have noticed that many of the Van City Kitties came from the SPCA!) Check back every Saturday for a new Happy Tails segment!

And if you adopted your pet from the SPCA and would like to share your awesome story on Happy Tails, send an email to Rory.Blanchard@novusnow.ca.
