The Marvelous Miss Maggie May is quite a name. This little lass was born with thumbs on both her front paws, so she's technically polydactyl, but that doesn't make her any less lovable. The owners got her from someone who ended up with a litter of nine kittens and had a colony situation, so decided to put some of the little ones up for adoption. Marvelous Miss Maggie May ran up to the owners, a married couple, while they were walking, and they tracked down which house the kitten was from. They found that they were trying to rehome her and her siblings, so they tucked her into their jacket, and the rest is history.

They've had Miss Maggie May for 2.5 weeks now, so they're nascent in their journey together, but things are going swimmingly. They have a dog, Billy, who was initially skeptical and suspicious of Maggie May. After the 2.5 weeks though, Billy is over his ego, and she realized that she is not in fact an inconvenience but a premium snuggler, as quoted by the couple. She owns the Christmas tree too, aka the Premium Kitten Playground/Fortress.
