The Hambrick Family: Emerson's Cat

No, Emerson didn't really get a cat; Chad and I agree on a "no cat rule" at our house (no offense to cat lovers). Let me explain...Emerson's Godparents, Kari & Tim have two cats and a dog. Emerson and Gracie (the dog) have grown up together and she lets him lay on her and molest her in every way possible. Their cats, Max and Anabelle (which Emerson refers to as Ma and Bell-Bell), could care less for Emerson. They can often be found smiling (hissing) or trying to hold his hand (trying to scratch him). This does not deter Emerson from seeking out both cats immediately upon entering their house.

With that being said, Tim decided they needed a new kitten that Emerson would have a chance to break in and it would learn to love him from the beginning. The plan was to take Emerson to the Humane Society and he (Emerson) would choose a cat, then give it a name. However, here is how it really went down: Kari, Tim, and Emerson went to the Humane Society, Tim picked out the cat, and Tim named the cat.

Here are some pictures of Emerson "loving" this new kitten.
