Here are the deets on Vesper as submitted by VIA reader :  Grey Alexander!

...

Breed/Colouring:  Black. Black as her person's black black soul. With single white hairs on her head and chest.......

Hood: Fairview

...

Habits: Greeting Grey at the door when he gets home from work (Once in a while peeking out the window before he's even in the building). Unique to most cats, she enjoys being held on her back with her feet up in the air; she purrs so loud it sounds like grunting. When hungry she will meow with a rather insistent "NOW!" repeatedly. She's pretty active at night, and wakes Grey up at 4am every night for food. And finally, she loves giving face kisses.

Hangouts:  The window sill observing the alleyway, patches of sunlight on the floor, any small cramped space, her tent, her bed, Grey's bed, his laptop.
...

Name: Vesper aka:Doodles, Doodoo, Dude, Duder, Veepers

Favorite Things:  Food, first and foremost. Her feather toy. Her mouse toy. Socks, feet, and shoes laces. Treats.

Other Info: She is extremely docile when in a snuggly mood, she goes all floppy and will let you hold her however you'd like, including suspended by her waist dangling upside down. Once while Grey was feeding her treats she got the bag away from him and began biting tiny pin-sized holes in it. As he attempted to wrestle it back from her she thought she had a hold of one of the treats. What she actually had was the tip of Grey's right index finger. She bit down so hard that his fingernail was noticeably disfigured for nearly 3 months.  While she hasn't begun to dabble in the arts herself, yet... she is a keen observer of the creation process.

Hey there, whatcha doin?:

Playing a game with a mouse toy for 3 hours is tough work:

Inspecting all of the food, just in case it may be delicious:
