PONGO, THE NEIGHBORHOOD WONDERCAT.


This little (hot mess) guy just melts our hearts whenever we see him.  He is a scrappy little dude who lives in the hills above our house.  I'm pretty sure he has a crazy history (like he lived on a fishing boat on the sea until he was abandoned on the docks of a shipyard-- total pirate kitten...I'm totally serious, his current "owner" told me this story!).  He is as sweet and affectionate as can be-- although he can't see much and his hair is usually incredibly nappy and dirty and therefore unpleasant to pet (it usually has weird things caught in it too, such as a used matchstick) and he does this unflattering thing where when he comes over to you for some love, he backs his fluffy butt right up to you (as best he can with limited vision!), ready for some petting (beep, beep, beep...).  Despite all of these things, we love him to bits and a walk in the hills wouldn't be complete without a visit with Pongo.  :)
