Brave Leonidas

Just a legendary Greek hero? I think NOT!!!! If you are skeptic of this, allow me to introduce my little Leo:



No, my new kitten is not demonic, his red pupil is caused entirely by the camera. However, he is the most unique cat I've ever seen. How? you may ask; the most obvious answer is that his right eye is blue, while his left eye is green-brown. That's not very unique; you might think. I've seen many cats with two different colored eyes. And that's true. But I must ask you, have you ever seen a cat whose tail literally CURLS? Yes, my kitten's tail curls, kind of like a Pomeranian's. These two unusual features combined result in my cute and cuddly little Leo.


What does his being unique make him worthy of being named Leonidas, though? you also might ask. I'll tell you. Because my kitten is very adventurous and brave as well as being original. You may remember the giant tree that grows entirely over the driveway at our house. Leo climbed all the way acrossed it. (the tree is at least 17 Feet above the ground at its highest. nor did he panic once he was up there. he calmly turns around and climbs right back down. i'd also like to point out that Leo is less than a foot long and weighs less than a pound.)

How and when did you get Leo? Leo came to us on Monday. Some jerk dropped him off on the highway, and Leo wandered over to mom in the morning while she was watering her plants. Needless to say, his cute personality and looks made it easy for even mom and dad to find him adorable.
