When we found a stray cat in our yard and knew the neighbor was trying to trap it and get rid of it, we called my sister and asked if she wanted this very cute, very affectionate baby. She and her husband came down and fell in love with him. They were trying to think of a name but couldn't come up with one on their drive home. Since she has other cats, she puts any new ones away from the others until she can get them vet checked the next day. She put this one in the garage and went to get it food and water. When she got back to the garage and it couldn't have been more than five minutes or so, she found the cat with a mouse in his mouth. What more fitting name than Hunter could she give this cat.
