Photos from Mike WilsonPets at a GlancePets: Ickle, a Desert Lynx; Heisenberg, a Bengal-Siamese mix; and Lylah, a calico; and Ages: 3, 2½ and 1½ Location: Byron Center, MichiganOwners: Mike Wilson and Megan Hanneman, founders of Catastrophic CreationsMeet the crew. About three years ago, Ickle moved into the Portland, Oregon, apartment of Mike Wilson and his girlfriend, Megan Hanneman. “Originally, I wasn’t really into getting cats,” Wilson says. “I’m actually even allergic to them.” But the cat moved in, and the couple routinely swept up cat hair to help with any allergy issues. One cat led to three because they didn’t want Ickle to be lonely. So now, Heisenberg and Lylah keep Ickle company while Wilson and Hanneman work.
