Meet Gigi, a spirited 3-year-old Manx cat with a heart as big as her missing tail, living her best life in Hartford, Connecticut. With soft fur, bright eyes, and a mischievous streak a mile wide, Gigi is queen of the house – and she knows it.

Her absolute favorite delicacy? Rotisserie chicken. Just the sound of the container cracking open is enough to send her into a full-body wiggle of excitement.

No box is safe from her curiosity – whether it’s big, small or meant for something entirely not-cat-related, Gigi will climb in, curl up and claim it as her royal throne.

And while she’s sweet as can be during the day, she’s also known as the midnight mischief-maker. If you find yourself being gently tapped on the face at 3 a.m., don’t worry – it’s just Gigi reminding you that she exists and probably deserves more chicken.
