... as a stray kitten. He was about 4-5 weeks old with an eye infection. the brewery we were at gave us a box to put him in so we could drive him home. the box was labeled “TONY”, because they sell a beer labeled “Fat Tony”... annnd so he was blessed with the name. Plot twist: about a month later, we found out The Fat Tony beer was actually named after ANOTHER stray cat! I wouldn’t be surprised if theyre related in some way because Fat Tony definitely fits.
