My name is Honus Wagner, and I am a 10 year old tabby cat.
Everyone thinks my owner Karen named me after a famous old baseball player because she is this really cool chick who knows a lot about sports, but it's actually because she lost a 3 hour long Trivial Pursuit game because she didn't know my name. (She guessed Babe Ruth the big dummy)
(So Jon Toner & Spartacus...sorry to disappoint you)
I have had a strange life. Karen's former roommate Amy got me when a kid she babysat didn't watch my mother and she got knocked up and had me. Karen & Amy & her other roommate Ginamarie took me into their girly household where they spoiled me rotten.
Then Amy abandoned me to go follow her boyfriend to Washington DC and Karen now had me permanently.
Soon after Amy left that household broke up and Karen lived out of her car (kind of) for several months as she dragged me from housesitting job to housesitting job until I didn't know where I lived.
After that summer of travel, I moved in with 2 other girls who didn't like cats but I quickly won them over with my charm & personality!
Then Karen got transferred to Folsom and she moved me again. Now I have no one to fawn over me since Karen works 60+ hours a week. So I sleep, snack and sleep again.
Then I wait for her to come home, immediately jump in her lap and try to eat her dinner that she grabbed or nuked from the frozen food section.
I especially love to try to eat takeout Chinese food but she is mean and makes me eat cat food instead.
I have lots of personality and all Karen's friends say I am the funniest cat they've ever seen. I talk on command, and on the phone when she asks me to speak. We are very close because it's just been me & her for the last 6 years and she is my best friend.
Thanks for hearing my story.
