It's Not Easy Being Mimi

Mimi and her cat, Marvin, live in the top apartment of Periwinkle Tower.  Her friends Yoshi and Tonya live in apartments on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and they are waiting to see who'll move into the ground floor apartment.  This hilarity begins right away, when Yoshi gives Mimi a haircut that ends up requiring her to wear a hat until the shorter (MUCH shorter) side grows in.  The first installment of this series explores new friendships while following a funny, episodic plot.
