My Cat Pochacco

August of 2001 my mom brought home a small kitten in a tall box that contained a small half and half bowl of food and water. My sister decided to name him Pochacco, because it was her favorite Sanrio character, but the only thing is that this Sanrio character was a white and black dog, so personally I didn’t find this very suitable. “Poh-choc-co” is the way you would sound out his name, but I always just called him Kitty since it’s much easier to say.

    Chestnut is a stray or shall I say fluffy domestic female cat that likes to cuddle. Her breed is unknown but to classify what she is, scientifically she is a Felis Catus. The type of markings that her fur has, are tabby like ( blotchy, in a nice mixed kind of way). Cats naturally stay about the same size, and weigh around 8 pounds or so, but she weighs about 15 pounds because she likes to eat.

    It had the same curiosity and apprehension I possessed at the time. I bent my knees down to it, and after a few more moments of consideration, it began to approach me. The cat in question, would be subject to debate as to whether It would be appropriate to consider it a kitten.
