Back in February of this year my sister told me about one of her neighbors who was trying to find homes for some kittens. The kitten's father and mother had been abandoned by another woman in the area and the neighbors took them in. The father was a gray tabby Hemingway cat and the mother was a very pretty long-haired tabby and when the kittens were born they almost all had extra toes. Well, I went with my sister to look at the kittens and picked a lovely tan kitten for myself, but when I went back to get the kitten I found out that it had already been promised to someone else. However, they had saved me a kitten with an extra toe on each foot, he was a true Hemingway.
I brought this very quiet, sleepy kitten home and named him "Hawk" because he had a habit of balancing on my outstretched arm and sitting on my shoulder. He grew a little slow and I soon found out he had problems with his nervous system and couldn't control his hind legs properly, but that doesn't stop him from chasing my other cats around the house. He is now almost 5 months and a little monster. He will always have trouble jumping and running, but he can now climb up and down the stairs and onto the couch so I'm sure he'll be fine. And with sweet little eyes like he has he will always get himself out of trouble....with me at least.
