Name: Milhouse Millenium aka Milly
Home: 30th & St. Catherine's area, Vancouver
ID: tag on collar with this website address, and a bell to keep him from sneaking into houses
Sleeps: Wherever he wants, he's an outdoor cat
Likes: Walking into people's houses, following people home
Territory: Between King Edward and 33rd Avenue, between Knight and Fraser. You may live in his territory.
If you find this cat, there's a 99% chance it is not lost. Please place outside, he will make his way home. Please do not feed this cat... unless you really like him coming back... often.
We've had dozens of phone calls of people thinking he's lost. He has become a very good actor (think Puss-In-Boots from Shrek), but trust us he's well fed and cared for.
Please leave a comment below and say where you found him, and what strange things he may have been doing.
If after reading this you really think he's lost, please e-mail lost@millycat.info

I think to date we've had about 2 dozen calls because we had our phone number on the tag. Now's the time to get it replaced with www.millycat.info on the tag
Haha! This adorable cat has decided to snuggle up on the nice cat bed we conviently leave on our porch! After checking the tag, and rereading the website, we have realized he is not lost, but just visiting. We live in the 800 block of east 31st. Unfortunately we fed him, so I assume he will be back!

Hi Cheryl H,
So your cat ended up enthroned on the doormat on our front porch for an entire evening (also 800 block east 31st), after following Philip and Tyler back and forth to school for a couple of days and giving them much amusement. Philip is planning on writing a story based on the Millycat.

Does this look familiar?

All this time, we thought we were special because this cat would come into our place and fall asleep on our laps! Last night we actually had to trick it in order to get him out of the house so we could go to bed.
So good to know that its not lost and just a friendly neighborhood cat. We had no idea that it had such a large territory though! We thought it was the next door neighbor's cat.
PS - we're around 30th and St. Catherines.

After returning home from Christmas shopping, hands full of bags, we were greeted at the car by this friendly feline in the snow. He happily escorted us up the stairs to our front door, where he quickly scampered into the living room with us. Worried he was lost, we gave him a bowl of milk-oops! Then we saw his tag, and found the website. What a clever kitty! After visiting for about 15 minutes, it seems he was very comfortable, and it took three family members to also trick him to get outside! Ha ha! A delightful house-guest...We look forward to his return! (We're located on the 900 block East 31st).
Great web site. Your cat followed me and my son home (29th and St. Catherines) and has now decided to hang out. He snuck in our house once and is trying to come in our cat door (which I have now closed). I am sure he will make his way home as soon as he realizes we have two very large dogs.
hi there
Milly has lived in our garden before, in the summer. thats when i first met him. its 1:00 am now, and he followed me up my steps. because it is really freaking cold out, i made him a bed of a thick blanket for him to curl up in so he doesnt freeze overnight. After reading your site, i realize he can probably handle the temperatures, but i just couldn't handle knowing hes out in this weather without anything warm in my neighborhood. i live on harriet street. good to know he knows his way around and isnt lost.
Hello again,
This is the second night milly is sleeping on our porch. Just so you know, he was wet and cold and hungry when he came to us. The good news is he is safe and fine now (in case you were worried at all), however I don't understand why he has a warm home available to him, yet he isn't in it right now when the temperatures have been dropping every night. Please let your cat stay inside your own home - at least while the weather is so cold like it has been lately - we don't like seeing an animal shake from being cold. If an animal has a home, they should stay in it until the weather warms up, at least.
We'll keep you posted on the well being of your cat.
My dad and I saw Milly today while walking to scool. I thought he was lost before I read the tag.He's really friendly and followed us part way to school.
He was in Guelph on Saturday afternoon, playing blues at the Cool Cat Cafe.
your cat is a casual smoker - we're very sorry. actually both of us (neighbors from 29th/st. Catherine) are trying to reduce bad addicts... so we were sitting on our porch while sound of reindeer bells distracted our naughty habit. you have to admit that is a little too late for Santas slights and understand are confusion when it appears it was a cat. we've found a tag and decided to write you and wish you all the best in 2009.

Your cat is currently sitting on our front porch. He tried to convince me to let him in, but I explained to him that he doesn't live here. Then one of our cats decided to go out and explain it in his own language. He still seems unconvinced, even though my cat is now back inside.

twas a dark and chilly night this one january evening the air was brisk and angry. As my girlfriend and i got out of our car we were greeted ever so casually by what we now have come to know as the infamous Milly (www.millycat.info) As she followed us back to our home (on 27th and Prince Albert)we couldn't help but think hmmmm "what a cute curious little cat" and allowed him to jingle himself into our kitchen. As we sat and played with Milly scratching him behind the ears and what not we finally decided to check his little jingling tag only to find that this gypsy cat had been whoring itself around these parts well for months... so we promptly placed him back out in the cold where we found him...and belongs. ps we gave him tuna sucker
milly appeared to us with a short mew, and asked to come inside. it was odd how comfortable he made himself in our home. Upon coming to this site, i see we are simply one household amongst a long line of doops that milly uses for his social advantage.
we still think he is really cute! there is a cat door in our house (28th and st catherines) so i suppose he will let himself out, just as he let himself in.
milly is a respectable cat, worthy of a website.
Milly introduced himself to my daughter and I last week. He now greets us when we come home and races us up the stairs.
I too have been suckered into providing him with a couple of meals.

Came home to vivit my dad today. He said there was a random cat sleeping on the bed... gave him some catnip, he wont leave.. haha.
He's checking out my bedroom as I type this. We gave him dinner, and now he's content to wander about and to watch the open front door. I hope he comes to his own conclusion on heading home cos I'll feel bad if I have to put him out, haha.
He followed us from the 7-11 at Knight and 33rd all the way home to 35th and Elgin.
We've taken souvenir photos with and of him - you should maybe find a way to add these, since he's becoming a local celebrity. Would be an awesome project.
I hope it's okay that he's staying indoors tonight. We'll put him outside in the morning, we tried already and felt really bad as he just stayed at the door and came back in the first chance he got.
He's eaten, and he's sleeping now so no worries there.
I found him while i was on a stroll and she followed me home my dad thought shes was lost but after i saw the website and saw that see has been around in all these areas and is not really lost my dad let him go he still around the area
What a cat! He's curled up in a chair listening to jazz at 37th and Culloden today after having used the same tricks - running up the stairs after me while I was cleaning out my employer's truck - this morning. He moved right in and acted like he'd always lived here, but will be sent on his way shortly. The website is a great idea,
Sheila
This is the best site EVER!!! We live on John & 29th, and Milly is visiting with us now. We seem to attract a lot of cats to our home, and often worry about whether they are lost or strays, but not Milly! You can tell how well loved and taked care of she is:)
I live on 26th and Main and Milly likes to hang with the kids in the neighborhood.At first we thought he was a lost cat since we know all the cats in our area and he just showed up out of the blue 2 days ago .When he sees the kids coming he will just lie down in front of them for a good petting then follow us home.He really does make himself at home, even scratches at the door to be let in when the kids go inside.What a great cat!
Milly made an entrance this afternoon at our house at 30th and John Street - came right in, met the kids, then wandered out.

Looks like Milly has been on an adventure for a few weeks, but I guess his welcome has run out as he was back at home this morning.
As usual, a dash in the door, eat food, and now out again patrolling the neighbourhood.
My dad woke me up at 12 @O@ I have to get up for school in like..7 hours XD I'm just glad this animal isn't really lost. Most interesting thing I've been waken up for though :P
Milly is great! This is Brando on Prince Albert street n 29th. Came home with me today. What is the deal with this kitty? So brave and friendly. Milly is my cat now. Muwhahahahaaaa!!! Just kidding. Peace
on prince albert and he is awesome cat :) ! Milly.. thats cute
We came home to Milly today and she followed us into the house, found our cats' cat food and settled down to eat. My husband thinks she looks so similar to our old cat (she passed away around 2 mths ago) To get her out of the house picked her up and she did not like that growled and hissed when I put her outside. Live on Ringwood and Windsor
Milly is currently holding court in the backyard of 779 East 31st. He met Charlie, resident female tuxedo cat, who did not take kindly to the intruder. Charlie now in house, cooling heels, while Milly is snuggled on the porch mat, in the shade, keeping me company. Great idea this website.
At 7:45 this morning he had a very nice visit over on Elgin st. He is very beautiful and we enjoyed his company!!
Sitting at Grays park enjoying Vancouvers finest offerings, when ups strolls Milly. He chilled with us listening to Kings of Leon. We thought Milly was lost until we read his tag.
