 |  |  |  | Hey everyone! It's been years since I've updated here and wanted to get back into things. I probably shared my story several years ago, but I feel practically new here again since it's been so long.
Anyway...
When my mom was about 8 years old her older brother (who was 8 years older and so at the time 16) found a kitten under a shopping cart outside of my grandpa's business and brought him home. When the cat came home my mom decided to use her allowance money to buy a cat naming book, and in that book was MY name...WAFFLE! Mom thought it was just the cutest name she had ever heard and shared it with her brother. Being a 16 year old and of course knowing EVERYTHING (as all 16 year olds seem to think) he said that he thought it was a terrible name and that the kitten was the be called Oliver (after Oliver Twist since he was, after all, an orphan). My mom was so upset that he thought the name Waffle was so bad that she swore to him on that day that when she was on her own and got her first cat, it's name would be Waffle!
So, fastforward 12 years later, my mom moves out of a dorm and into her own place and finds me at the local shelter to take a long with her. We've been together for 8 years now and that name that her brother thought was so stupid is still the favorite of anyone who asks about me. Waffle has been the best name I could possibly imagine!  |  |  |  |  |
