New Addition


No, I'm not pregnant, just a new cat mom. During a frantic day at work Dustin was distracted and tricked into bringing home a kitten. It all started when the TV station got a phone call about a baby bobcat on a lady's front porch. She swore that nobody would come help her. Dustin, reporter and an intern headed to Weddington Woods to investigate upon arrival they discover a furious(see picture above) 1lb kitten on the porch meowing frantically. "It's been screaming like that for two days" the lady says. Trying not to laugh, they ask her if she has watered or fed the wild animal. The lady replies, "No, I'm not getting near that thing!" So just to be sure Dustin calls Game and Fish, sends pictures through his phone..the phone rings. "Yes, this is the Game and Fish Office in Little Rock what you have there is a common house cat." "BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE A TAIL," the lady says "Ok, a common house cat without a tail" the voice says, laughing.

The reporter feels sad about this wild animal not getting food or water, so they pick up the kitten and head back to the station. Not until they all have on their seatbelts and driving down the road does the reporter and intern both state that neither one of them can keep the poor animal. After a phone call to me at work during am rounds, he takes the kitten to get checked out and given shots by our vet.

$130 we have Bobby the cat a.k.a Robert Louis Rogers the third, offcially.
He's not famous, he never even made the news.
Sam loves his cat and the cat loves Sam. And the boy was happy.
Sofia Loves to strangle the cat. And the cat runs in terror.

Dustin is about to let Sofia strangle the cat because he spreads liter all through the laundry room.
Welcome home, Bobby.
