Pepsi, what an odd name for a cat. Not really, let me tell you why my name is Pepsi. I was born in Marietta, Georgia and had it really bad for the first four weeks of my life. One night though everything changed. There was this "bum" (big, ugly and mean) guy that took me for a car ride. We went to the local strip mall where he stopped the car. The next thing I knew, he threw me out of the car and drove away. Well, I was scared to death, sick, and didn't know what to do. I needed to find a hiding place and ended up behind a soda machine, hence my name - Pepsi. What I didn't know was that there was this other guy that saw what happened. This other guy, now my dad, got me out from behind the soda machine and he and my mom adopted me and nursed me back to health. I am now seventeen years old and live in Vienna, Virginia. I love my mom and dad very much, but don't want to have much to do with anyone else.
