My Himalayan Cat Milo

Milo was one of 5 kittens born to my family's cats Tenzing (Mom) and Jasper (Dad) On October 15, 2007. He had two brothers and two sisters. We gave his brothers and a sister away to some of my mom's co-workers when they were old enough to leave.

I kept Milo and my sister kept the other sister, Lola.
Milo was the biggest out of all the kittens. We nicknamed him "Tubby" before I eventually chose his name. He was also the last to learn how to walk, and we worried that he might have problems with his legs. It turned out that his butt was just too big for his legs to handle! He soon grew into his butt :)

When I returned to college in January after his birth, I brought him along with me. We lived together in my one bedroom apartment, and I must say, he was the best roommate I had all through college! I made frequent trips home on the weekend, which were about 2.5 hours each way. I would put him in his pet carrier in the passenger seat and he usually just slept through the whole ride.
He has lived with me in two apartments and three houses and traveled many miles with me. He has done so with little complaint. Few other cats can say that! Milo has been a wonderful companion throughout the years. I couldn't ask for a better pet :)
