my family used to have 3 cats when i was little, named Soapie, Christie, and Mookie-Pookie (my moms favorite)
like most cats do, they would roam the neighborhood on their own
soapie (he was a dumb cat) nearly got run over by a car, mookie pookie got stolen while she was out, and christie ran away
we learned cats are not good pets for us and instead we now have 2 strong, smart, and very adorable siberian huskies
