What if they decide they don't like me?) We had been going to the shelter for a couple of weeks to see what was what, and on this day we decided we were ready - if the right cat was there we would take it. We got to a cage with a cute big kitten sitting up on the shelf. We said hello and she meowed and jumped down to come and meet us. We squatted down by the front of the cage to have a chat with her. I turned to Janice to say that this looked like a nice cat. While my head was turned, Tashie stood up on her back legs, reached through the wire, and touched my cheek with her paw, like, "I choose... YOU!" |

Or did they choose you? Stories please! Xoxo chose us. Kinda. He was rescued by a neighbor back when we lived in the condos. He became the condo cat, but we became his main caregivers. We took him to the vet and fed him much better food than the guy who rescued him did. Plus the guy had a cat who hated all other cats. When our beloved Quetzie died, Xoxo mourned for him for weeks. He dissappeared from the courtyard and we could hear him crying in the back of the building at night. When we moved to our house, Xoxo came with us and he's been a very happy indoor-only cat since. Luna also kinda chose us. We went to get one kitten and we immediately loved Maya's coat. However, Maya was doing her thing, smelling everything and not staying put. Luna, on the other hand, had to be with us. She *loves* people, so we decided to take them both. Basho and Issa were selected by the breeder, so there was no choice there, other than the choice of colors. Fez definitely chose me and I chose Rufous. They were tiny 4 week old abandoned kittens at the SPCA, part of a litter of 5. When I opened the cage they were in, Fez got up from the pile, made a beeline for me and started meowing. He still has the exact same voice.... He obviously wanted to come home with me and I chose Rufous because he was the biggest, fuzziest, orangest kitten I've ever seen. -- Victor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |
