He's Mr. Sandwich

Take 5 parts cute, 2 parts hellion, 3 parts kitten, and mix together all night long, non-stop and you will have yourself a perfect Mr. Sandwich.

Who, or what, or how is Mr. Sandwich? He's a 3-month old kitten that Meghan and I adopted two weeks ago and he is pictured above. His name is Mr. Sandwich. Not Reynold or Puss or even Tom. His first name is Mr. and his last name is Sandwich, and I laugh every time I hear or say his name. He's the awesomest. He's the super-cutest kitten in the whole wide world. He's also the largest hell-raiser this side of rockies. Some of his favorite activities include sleeping all day under the bed and staying up all night long to play rock-em-sock-em robots with our noses and feet. I think we've gotten a grand total of 14 hours of sleep in the last two weeks. But you can't stay mad at him, because he's so darn adorable. He's not even four pounds yet, and he's a super-snuggler, and likes to be flipped upside-down and have his belly rubbed. I could go on, but I don't want to say anything too embarrassing just yet.

I'll post more pictures when I can, but he's not one to sit still for more than 6 milliseconds, so most of my shots look like blurry photos of Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. But, maybe once I get good at photographing Mr. Sandwich, I'll be ready to take on the hunt for Sasquatch.

Nice kitty! I have to warn you though, the first cat can quickly mutate into more... And once you have more cats than bedrooms in your apartment, then you have become a crazy cat lady. Believe me I know. Three cats, one bedroom, can you smell the cat litter?

One word, Austin: Watergun. Or is that two words?
Well,those three words will help save your sleep, couches,counters...whateverMr. Sandwich serves up. Draw, kitty.

Oh, don't worry, Meghan's nickname around the apartment is "Quick Draw McGraw." She don't take no guff off of any kitties, no matter how cute. The only problem is that in order to instill the fear of God into the little bugger we have to stay up all night with itchy trigger fingers. The furniture hasn't been destroyed to badly yet, but I would love to get some sleep. Do you think cats like Ambien?

I can't believe Megan let you name the cat "Mr. Sandwich". That rules.

(And notice how I assumed you had to get permission from Megan to name him that)

She's still fighting me on the name, but dammit, Mr. Sandwich is the best cat name ever (although I am also partial to Chesterfield Copperpaws). I am standing firm. If a man can't name a cat something ridiculous, what's next? Sitting when he pees? I will not be that man. God gave me legs so that I may pee upright and as long as I do that, Mr. Sandwich stays!
