Calgary has seen a lot in its relatively short history.

Residents have endured conflicts, challenges, epidemics, explosions, and floods. The 1988 Winter Olympics, the Calgary Zoo, and the Hart wrestling dynasty put the city on the world stage.

Into all these moments saunters a little grey cat with odd eyes, a curiously expressive tail, and too many toes, touching Calgarians and changing their lives.
