From “No Cats Allowed” to Life with Cats: How Mía and Atún Took Over Pedrín’s World

When Pedro Zuazua swore there would never be a cat in his home, Mía and Atún were still living their own adventures somewhere else. Today, they are not only the feline stars of Pedro’s books En mi casa no entra un gato (No Cats Allowed in My House) and Días para ser gato (Days to Be a Cat), but also the true rulers of his life, his living room, and probably his laptop.

This is the story of how two cats rewrote one human’s destiny — a journey filled with humor, tenderness, and the kind of lessons only cats can teach.

👑🐱✨From “No Cats Allowed” to “Yes, Your Majesty”

Mía arrived first, nine years ago. Elegant, discreet, and with a natural air of authority, she didn’t ask to be adopted — she simply decided Pedro would be her human. He tried to send her back after their first night together, but within two days, he was hopelessly in love.

“He seemed pretty lost in life,” Mía recalls. “Thank goodness I showed up.”

Life was calm, predictable, and entirely under Mía’s rule… until Atún appeared. Adopted from a shelter in Granada, Spain, this easygoing boy brought a new kind of chaos. He’s the type to start conversations at five in the morning, steal the spotlight during video calls, and charm everyone with his laid-back smile.

Between their home in Madrid and frequent trips to Asturias, Mía and Atún have made every sunny windowsill theirs. And somewhere along the way, they also adopted Bea — a human they both agree takes better care of them than Pedro does.

The Queen and Her Sidekick 🐱🌟

Mía’s self-description is short and clear: “Nothing moves in this house without my say-so.” She’s agile, subtle, and impossibly beautiful — though she admits to having a slight attitude if someone touches her whiskers.

Atún, on the other paw, is all about comfort and fun. He’s a professional napper, a fearless eater, and a mischievous spirit.

“I once jumped on Pedrín’s computer and flipped the screen upside down,” he says. “He spent ages fixing it. Good times.”

Life with Cats: The Daily Rituals 🐈

A typical day in their kingdom? Mornings are slow, with stretches of sunbathing from window to window. Afternoons bring bursts of activity, often involving play, exploration, or plotting their next “surprise” for Pedrín.

But the one constant? Our sacred wet food treat at 5 p.m. sharp — a tradition no cat parent should dare to break.

 

Why Their Story Matters😻🐾

Through Pedro’s storytelling — in his books, online shop, and Mía’s advice corner — the duo helps challenge common myths about cat behavior and adoption. They’re proof that responsible cat adoption can transform not just the life of an animal, but also the heart and habits of the human who opens the door.

They’ve built a community of followers who tune in for their funny cat stories, but also walk away with cat care tips for beginners: patience, respect, and the ability to laugh at life’s little surprises.

“Humans worry too much about nonsense,” says Mía. “Be more like cats.”

 

Looking Ahead: More Purrs, More Projects

Between their growing website, a newsletter, and their shop, there’s always something happening in Mía and Atún’s world. Every new subscriber or order is a mini party. And when Pedro goes off to perform with musician Pablo Moro, they know he’ll return with stories — and, hopefully, treats.

Final Meow

To other cats: no need for advice — you already know it all. To humans: worry less, nap more, and never underestimate the joy of sharing your home with a cat (or two).

If you’ve ever wondered what life is like with cats, just ask Mía and Atún — though fair warning, you might end up with a pawprint on your keyboard and a heart that’s forever theirs.

This family also believes in giving back: they regularly collaborate with different associations that help cats in need, choosing a new cause each time to make sure their support reaches as many whiskers as possible.
