   This beautiful boy was given to me free by a guy at work when he was a little one. He has been a great addition to my household. I am currently a college student at OSU and he has to live about 15 minutes away with my dad. My boyfriend was the one who named him, and I thought that it was unique and it just kind of stuck with him. He resides with two other cats and two dogs. Widget puts up with everything that is dished out to him and is a good sport about it. His favorite things to do are eat yogurt, catnip, chasing Shasta and Junior around the house and going on car rides. You would think he was part dog. He loves to ride and is a good sport about it. He traveled last summer with me for a nice 8.5-hour trip across the state and did not mind one bit. I have been through some tough times with him. He was diagnosed with missing a couple amylase enzymes and so it makes it hard for him to digest some foods and he gets sick sometimes. It took me almost two years to find out what was wrong with him, but now I found a good vet who solved it for me. He is the best friend any college person can have, especially since he puts up with so much stuff. Hopefully he will continue to be that way for a long time.
