ODESSA, Texas (KOSA) - Evelyn is 13 years old, and if you want to get to know her, start with cats.

Over the years, she has cared for several and keeps a journal filled with their photos, fur clippings, and copies of their pawprints.

For Evelyn, cats are more than a hobby, they are a source of comfort and joy."They're just everything. I think they're awesome," she said.
