Our second cat Miles is a Burmilla. A cross between a Burmese and Chinchilla breeds. A really, calm, cool character, with the occasional crazy attitude of the Burmese, but generally VERY mellow and loves to sit on laps. :D The name was funny, as we travelled to a cat show and he was a surprise addition to the family as my wife just happened to fall in love with an adult and the lady judge telling us about just happened to have two kittens there. My wife held the kitten (this one) and he and her fell in love instantly. Well, one more step closer to the doghouse for me folks....
As we drove home, about 50 miles away, we were thinking thinking and she exclaimed, we have to call him Miles because we travelled many Miles to meet him. So there is the explanation for the unexplainable naming process....
