8. I had a Himalayan cat named Yeti and he more than lived up to the name, lol.

Himmies are supposed to be calm and docile, but Yeti was a beast. He wasn't mean, but he took shit from nobody.

I also had a Tuxedo cat named Howie, short for Hell on Wheels. He was the biggest character. Our vet treated his littermate, Taz, so I think the litter was a bit mental. Howie's favorite Yuletide activity was me dancing to Chuck Berry's "Run Run Rudolph with him in my arms.

I still miss those cats.
