RIP Alonzo Morton (1992-2008)

My college buddy John Morton's cat Alonzo died late last night after a brief illness. Alonzo had a lot in common with our own Freddy, from birth date (Alonzo was a year older) to their obvious physical similarity - they could have been brothers.

Here's a shot of Alonzo (he's the big guy on the left) with his roommate Weezer I took when we were in Memphis for Mort & Kate's wedding (you already know them from Gracie's Crib).RIP Alonzo

Who wouldn't want to adopt this cuddly monster of a cat? According to the paper, this kitty weighs about 20 pounds, about 2 pounds heavier than Fred. I guess Fred is just big boned. Click here to read the article in today's Seattle Times.
