During the recent Memorial Day weekend, my brother and I drove up to Georgia to see our folks. For their 27th wedding anniversary, we went camping with their redneck friends(and some obscure relatives) and pursued fun adventures on boats, ATVs, and golf carts outside of civilization.

To finish off the trip, we stayed at the house of a cousin I didn’t event know I had. They had the greatest cat ever, as you can see above.

I typically hate cats. They are the most useless and selfish creatures ever. All they ever do is lick themselves and claw at furniture. Dogs are incredibly superior as you can train them to kill people.

BUT… this cat is awesome. With only three legs, one eye, and no testicles, he(!) could still run around with the best of them. Appropriately named Tripod, he would travel quickly by pushing off his back leg. I tried to get a shot of him running; unfortunately, he was too quick to catch on camera.

Sonic the Hedgehog wishes he was as fast as Tripod.

He’s got a life filled with more misfortune than most people and he still keeps going on! Tripod, we salute you!
