Augustus, named after watching a western movie. Day to day called Auggie or Gus-Gus. He is about 10 years old now. I got him from the vet clinic I worked for in Shoshone, Idaho. He was brought in by some people because his mother was dead and he and his brother were in poor shape. They were about 4-5 weeks old. He had the grossest eye infection which had taken most of his sight. When he was younger he would run into things. Now he never does, but his sight is not any better. Cali, our labrador, loves him. She will give him tons of kisses, or licks. I have to tell her to stop licking him. He is a quiet cat, but when hungry will bug you non-stop. To the point that I have almost fallen down the stairs. One time he got out of the house and was lost for 3 days. I cried. Then I found him and was so happy. He is a good cat. Proof. Ada was playing with him this morning. Watching cartoons with him and went to get a snack. Tells him not to move. He didn't. He sat there waiting. I am not sure if he is horrified to leave or actually likes the attention he gets from her. Oh and by the way. Cats don't usually lay on their backs. She put him that way and he stayed put.
Weird.
He just stayed their while I took photos and looked at me. Ada came back. Climbed up next to him and sat there watching the rest of the cartoons and eating a snack. How funny!

Yes, Auggie is one of a kind. I hope he lives a good long life because Ada would really miss him and you will never be able to replace him. He is funny that he will just lay on his back like that. He has very few demands and seems very appreciative of his life and his family. Ada is just a rough lover!!! Love, Mom
That is the funniest, strangest thing ever! I love it! I love that every cat has such a different personality too!
Hope you guys are enjoying this time of year! Sure miss you sweet friend!
ps... remember when we were crazy roommates together and made another crazy roommate sleep in a tub?? ha ha!
