"I need to get this clear, right off the bat. I’m not a cat person.
Controversial, I know.
But Mittens is not so much a cat as he is a cult phenomenon. He’s
created an almost mythical response, even nominated for New Zealander
of the Year. You know, along with humans. His presence in Wellington has
even provoked its very own Facebook group, The Wondrous Adventures of
Mittens.
The group is for sightings of Mittens roaming about the Capital, cute
selfies with Mittens himself, great memes and since lockdown, some truly
stunning pieces of fan art. Yep, pet fan art is a thing. Once he joined
such national treasures as Sir Peter Jackson and Sir Richard Taylor by
receiving the Key to the freakin’ City by the Mayor (don’t worry it only
cost $14.83), the idea of the mini-exhibition came about."
