The first cat that my family owned was named Smokey. He was a very large gray tabby cat and was a real sweetheart. A neighbohood kid came to our door and told my mom that if he didn't find a home for him then he would have to be put to sleep. My mom didn't want this to happen so she adopted him. We had him for at least 3-4 years before he died. He got hit by a car.
