My very first kitty, the amazing Orville

My mom just sent me this! I am ten in this photo.
I met Orville when I was in first or second grade. We had two boy kittens
Orville and his brother Wilber, my sister's cat.
He was with me all through high school, quite an old dude.
Look at that smiley cat face, I just adored him.
My late step dad Irv said Orville had two personalities, one for each profile, Orville, and his "other" personality...Edgar. (Shakespeare fans will understand that one). One day my mom put a bottle cap on his head and he wore it like a crown as he walked around the room, it didn't fall off, we had to take it off him! He looks like quite the bruiser in this photo,
I don't think he was, just looks that way next to wee little me.
