Nicknames: E-Cat; Easy-E, Ernie-Cat, Bubbs
Weight: 13 lbs.
Bio: Mom adopted me when I was about 7 months old.  I don't remember much before that.  They say I lived somewhere where they wouldn't allow pets so I ended up in the shelter.  The shelter people were nice but I am so happy my Mom picked me!
Character: Yes, my Mom and Dad say I'm quite a character!
Peculiar marks: I'm a polydactyl.  Which means I have extra toes...I have 7 toes on each of my front paws and 5 on each of my back feet.  Mom says it makes me special.
Name story: My name at the shelter was Mister.  Mom quickly changed it to Ernie.  I'm named after Ernest Hemmingway, the author.  Besides his writings, he is famous for having polydactyl cats.  In fact, Hemmingway's house in Key West, FL is now a historical site.  And it is home to many polydactyl cats...some which are original decendants of Hemmingway's cats.
Favorite moments: When my mom brought me home from the shelter.
Likes: Feet.
Dislikes: The fact that people are afraid of black cats and are reluctant to adopt black cats because of superstitions.  Black cats are wonderful!  Just look at me!
Favorite activity: Playing chase with my brother, Wally.
Favorite food: I have allergies so Mom has to feed me special food.  But that's okay...I love it!
Favorite game: Knocking pens off the table and playing with them on the floor.
