Hubert, The Ice Storm Cat!

It was January of 2007. There was no power in the Ozarks due to the first major ice storm of the year. Food was running low and stress levels were high. My family and I were tucked away in our house in Miller, just trying to get by with the whole situation. After waking up from a cold night, we heard a faint sound from outside our back door. We opened the door to find a starving, injured, and timid cat. Though we already had two pets, we couldn't just let the little guy starve. We opened a can of cat food, gave it to the cat, and within five minutes the food vanished into the cats mouth! At this point, we decided that when the cat was healed, we'd find him a good home. But because of his contagious personality, we fell in love with the cat named Hubert. He still lives with us, and will continue to be a part of our family.

This cat is the most precious cat that ive ever seen. I think that it is a omen that this cat came to you. If i could choose i think that your pictures should win and be put on a calendar.
