Powpow


Our cat, Powpow is a 2.5 year old crazy crazy man. Lowell received a cat for his birthday (one of those presents that I got "for him" that was really for me) that we thought would be a sweet low-maintenance kitty that would hide under the bed and sleep all day. We rescued him from an adoption center and he was the last little guy from his litter. He was SO scared of us and we thought we hated us. The cat-lady working there told us it was very unusual to see a kitten as timid as him, and that he was very small for his age. She was sure he would be a small cat. She of course would know, as she had at least 5 cats herself...



Well, he proved everyone wrong! I just realized that he's kind of like Clifford the Big Red Dog, because he is now a huge beast. He went from being scared of everything to intensely interested in anything. Please note that Powpow was not set up for any of the following pictures and got into each and every predicament on his own accord:

crazed

box head

Okay, fine. I admit to putting him in the this backpack myself...

Getting into Mom's speech and language standardized testing materials

Sleeping in underwear

Ready to go camping (yes, he really did crawl into this sleeping bag holder himself)

But, all-in-all we would not trade our Mr. Powpow Kittles Pinkerton for anything in the world. He may always be getting into trouble (like walking in to our neighbors' houses on sunny days to say "Hello") but he's been there for us. For instance, he's always ready to help Lowell brew a batch of beer:



He is really just a chip off the old block!

  2. Powpeezer is always in those situations because he takes after his old man! Like father like son. For instance....Powpow chugs some home brew, gets a nice buzz on, and sleeps in underwear. Lowell chugs any brew, gets real wasted and falls asleep next to the onramp to a freeway in Vegas at 2:30 in the morning....
