Millefeuille:

* Nicknames: Mille, Pumpkin, Angel
* Notable for:
Mr. Architect: Loves to make nests in his two houses. Cat caught him many a-time taking small pieces of paper and plastic bags from the recycling bin. Cat did an experiment one day where she put back all the papers from the cage into the recycling bin, and when her back was turned, sure enough, Mille went back to remake the nest. When Cat tried scolding him about using bags, he seemed hurt and also angry. He ignored her and wouldn't come to see her for a few days afterward. Then Cat got an idea; she tore up papers from the weekly flyers that came in the mail. At first, Mille was in nest heaven! Then, one day, Cat put papers all over the cage. Now it appears Mille is on strike. Cat thinks he's fed up of having to re-make his nest every 2-3 days when the cage (and his room) gets a cleaning.
Mr. Ostrich Cuddler: Mille loves to sit on Cat's lap, and hide his head between the crook of her arm and torso, while he is petted. He will stay there for 10 minutes, or until Chev decides he wants attention, too!
* Positive attributes: Likes to be clean. Ensures Chev gets his daily dose of grooming, whether he needs it or not. Very gentle
* Negative attributes: Tends to be afraid and nervous. Dislikes loud noises and bright lights. Can be sneaky: One time, Cat forgot to close the cage door and Mille decided it was time for an adventure, solo. Cat & Daddy came home to find holes in the blanket on the bed, and Daddy's jeans were ruined.
* Fave foods: Loves his sweets and fat! Sweet fruits like bananas, apples and grapes as well as soaked sunflower & pumpkin seeds.
* Ayurvedic type: Kapha-vata
* Element: Water
