Lucky Boris
My friend Tessa loves dogs....cairn terriers to be precise but she's
never been able to turn down helping people or animals so when an elderly friend of hers asked her to find her a cat she settled down to do it with her usual efficiency. Lady wanted a slightly older cat that must be good with dogs, Tessa found a possible candidate at a rescue in Luton so off the lady to see the cat but by the time she'd got there he'd been seen by someone else and was being held pending adoption checks. So as she is standing there a paw comes out from the pen below and pats her arm and she looks down....and it is love at first sight for her and Boris. Boris is named because they picked him up as a thin starving stray on the street the day Boris Johnson beat Ken Livingstone All checks passed with flying colours ..Boris now installed in a loving forever home Nice story I thought I would share it Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

She was looking at all the cats and kittens when this tiny kitten suddenly reached through the cage and patted her on the shoulder. That was 19 years ago, and Peaches is still going strong. MaryL |

MaryL That is kinda of how I got my MArgie at Humane Society. Only instead of patting me she tryed to bite me when I picked her up. I figured no one else would want a kitten that tryed to bite them so I took her and she has done a complete turn around. Now she is the most friendly one of the bunch. |

It almost sounds like Margie knew _exactly_ what she was doing. Andy |

Reached out and snagged DW's sweater and we were well and truly hooked (figuratively and literally). Sam, supervised by Mistletoe |
