CatDex
A collection of the cats that I've met in my neighbourhood. Lhasa and Dobby are the names given by their owners, all the others were named after desserts after I started seeing them regularly while walking past.
Type: Solid Grey
Personality: Gentle
Related To: Dobby
Description: A sweet, elder kitty near Ubisoft Toronto. She would often be seen napping on the porch or bannister of her neighbour's house, but would happily hop down the stairs whenever I called her. Lhasa unfortunately passed away in Winter of 2025, but our lives were richer for having known her.
