This is my Sweet Potato. In December 2002 on a five-degree day, I went out to my yard and saw some movement under my big pine tree. When I checked it out, I saw a tiny orange kitten happily playing with a pine cone. I went inside and got one of my pet carriers. I got behind the little guy and grabbed him. He put up quite a fight, but I was able to stuff him into the box. I took him to my vet and learned he was in great health. I told my vet, "well, he just joined my family." The vet asked what name to put down, and after a brief pause I said, "Why, this is my little Sweet Potato." We calculated his age and I set his birthday at July seventh. Today my Sweet Potato turned sweet seventeen. He fits in nicely with his brothers: a seventeen pound cat and a 120 pound puppy. I love my sweet eclectic furry family.
