On February 8, 2008, we were driving behind one of our favorite restaurants and a random cat ran out in front of us. I stopped the car, as the cat was pretty close to us. Someone opened a door, and the cat jumped in and started purring. When we asked a local about the cat, they told us that it was likely a stray and that most everyone had dogs, not cats. So now he's ours, and we call him Abe.
