Sooooo, Melissa hated my cat Ethyl. Maybe this picture will illustrate why:

Yeah, she called her the spawn of Satan, so it was a losing battle for me. Very sad, but she got a great new home with a hairless Mexican dog, I think it was called a Chinese Crested or something. So I guess it was a Chinese dog.
Well, since Melissa got rid of the coolest cat ever, we got another one so Omaha has a buddy to kick it with all day. Meet Buford Tannen, a former resident of the Rexburg pound.

Yeah, he's a pimp. Melissa actually chose him, he gave her a big old hug when we were looking at the cats at the pound, so he must be smart too... knows how to schmooze his way around. He's pretty laid back, has a real quiet meow, and has the coolest name of all time: Buford. He is no yellow-bellied pie slinger, this is for sure.
