DUSTIN CABATUAN: Me starting her Instagram account was just out of pure fun and a hobby and it turned into being a part of a cat community. I love all pets, but to me, cats are just-- they're lovable but then they also like do their own thing and I like that. Hi, my name is Dustin Cabatuan and this is Milla, Milla the cat.

Milla is named after Milla Jovovich, the actress. She's a very lovable cat, very quiet. She doesn't really meow like my other cats do. She's very eccentric. She loves to play with the most random things. She's not much of a lap cat. She does her own thing. She's an independent woman.

[LAUGHS]

She was my first cat I've ever had and I fell in love with her. I started her account like in 2013. I think it was in May was like her first post I ever did. The outreach was pretty crazy. I didn't expect it. I kind of have to like do it when she wants to. Like, she sleeps quite a bit. She's 10 years old now, so she really likes to sleep. I mean, cats have a bad rap. Every time someone comes to our house they're like, oh, I don't like cats. They're mean and they hiss and whatever just happened.

[LAUGHS]

And then they hang around our cats for a minute and they're like, oh, your cats are great. I'm lucky I got three really amazing, fun-loving cats.
