Meet Niko: The Mischievous Siamese Cat with a Love for Cheese and Trouble

Meet Niko – The Cheeky Siamese Who Keeps Everyone Laughing

If you've already heard about Kanel, the blue-eyed Siamese from Miami, you might remember he has a brother—Niko. Unlike his calm sibling, Niko is a whirlwind of playful chaos, cheese obsession, and endless curiosity. While they were rescued together by Soledad, their personalities couldn’t be more different.

The Great Rescue Mission Under the Building

Soledad recalls the moment she first saw the two kittens trapped beneath the building where she lived. Armed with patience, food, and a homemade paper funnel, she fed them bit by bit through the metal grating. In a moment she’ll never forget, Niko climbed onto Kanel’s back to nibble the falling food—already a little rascal from day one.

After hours of effort, both kittens were rescued and brought into a life filled with love, warmth, and lots of laughter.

Niko’s Quick Facts

• Name: Niko (Inspired by the name “Nicolas,” with a quirky twist)

• Siblings: Kanel and Onyx

• Breed: Siamese mix

• Age: 5 years

• Location: Miami, Florida

• Favorite Treats: Salmon & Tuna pâté... and cheese, glorious cheese!

• Preferred Spot: Sun-drenched windowsills to watch birds and lizards

• Favorite Toy: Bouncy balls and crinkly paper bags

• Special Quirk: Follows Soledad into the bathroom—every. single. time.

Cheese Is the Real Magic Word

One of the funniest parts of Niko’s story is his undeniable obsession with cheese. According to Soledad, it’s nearly impossible to enjoy a cheese snack in peace—as soon as Niko hears the wrapper or smells dairy in the air, he’s at your side like lightning.

Guests with a cheese platter? You bet Niko’s joining the party.

Bathroom Guardian & Technology Gremlin

For Niko, no activity beats following Soledad to the bathroom. Even if he's deep in sleep or enjoying a meal, he’ll sprint across the house just to stand guard. Closing the door? Prepare for dramatic meows and gentle paw pushes.

Oh, and if you leave your MacBook charger connected? Be warned: he'll unplug it just for fun—a game of connect-disconnect he seems to find endlessly amusing.

Cat vs. Dogs: Guarding His Litter Kingdom

Though generally sociable, Niko fiercely protects his litter box from visiting dogs. When Paz and Luna, Soledad’s canine relatives, come over, he transforms into a miniature feline bouncer. He hisses, growls, and even guards passageways to assert his territorial rights.

The Challenge of a New Cat Sibling

Niko’s world was further shaken with the arrival of a new kitten—Onyx. For weeks, he refused to accept the little one, even distancing himself from Soledad. Eventually, Niko returned to cuddling, letting Soledad rub his belly once again, though he's still warming up to Onyx.

Technology Troubles & Cat-Approved Pranks

Just like his brother, Niko seems to have a passion for gadgets. He’s notorious for typing on keyboards, navigating websites (accidentally), and swiping glasses off counters. No laptop is safe when Niko is in the room.

And then there's the money story...

The Mystery of the Missing Money

One weekend, Soledad left a few bills on the counter. By Sunday, they were missing. After a frantic search, she gave up. But on Monday morning, heading out the door—surprise! The cash was on the welcome mat. Niko had managed to slide it under the door, as if to say, “You dropped this.”

Life with Niko and His Furry Family

Despite the mischief, Soledad wouldn’t change a thing. The joy, laughter, and companionship that Niko brings are immeasurable. “They’re not just pets,” she says, “We’re a family.”

Whether he's watching birds, stealing cheese, or guarding the bathroom, Niko is proof that rescue cats can fill your life with unforgettable moments.

Bonus Fun Fact

Soledad brings back tiny hats for her cats from her travels—even though Niko absolutely hates wearing them. One photo shows him wearing a traditional Romanian cap!
