Twice As Awesome

My daughters are upset that I failed to post something about the final member of our household.

When I was growing up we found a stray black kitten in the alley behind our home in Wyoming. The poor thing was cold and starving so we took him in, fed him, and warmed him up. My older brother David took one look at the kitten and said, "What an awesome cat!" My younger brother Devon started calling him Awesome and it just kind of stuck. He was a beautiful cat. My dad is NOT a cat lover but he was out-voted by the rest of the family. We ended up keeping the cat for 15 years or so.

My daughters had always loved to hear me tell stories about Awesome. Last January they found a stray black kitten that was starving and cold. They promptly named him Awesome II and brought him home. Needless to say, Mom was out-voted and the cat stayed.

We now have a litter box in the guest bathroom and catnip mice all over the house. Except when he pounces on us in our sleep, we have really loved having an Awesome cat in the house. Below is the picture we took today.
