Lulu here - Mom1 and Mom2 really had quite the time when they came to the Kitty wing of the local shelter looking for some Katkidz to share their home with!! There were so many good looking fellow inmates waiting for their forever homes!!! I wasn't sure I was going to get a chance - there were kittens just in from their stays in foster homes and some oldsters, like me, who were given up for a lot of different reasons. My first family had a new baby and they didn't think I was going to be good with her (not sure why now :confused:). I was in the "senior" category - I was 7 years old and was available for no charge. Mom2 immediately was taken by my smushed face. The attendant described me as a cat with an "attitude." Hey - I just know what I want and when I want it!!! Now, Mom1 had her eye on a youngster down the line who was a funny looking tortie - strangest markings I've ever seen!!! When they brought us together (to check out my 'tude for this whipper snapper), I knew I needed to be on best behavior!! I kept my thoughts to myself and Mom2 said I was for her. So we both went home together. I have staked my claims to the funny tunnel that Mom1 brought home for us to play with - it's my "safe house" - and I've put Bitster in her place a number of times - but it hasn't stopped her from teasing me!!! Boy, can she jump :eek:
There are so many fellow kitty travelers looking for homes - Mom1 and Mom2 really could have taken all of them home - but I'm not sure where they would all have fit!! So here's to everyone who goes to the shelters when they want to share their home with furkidz - they are truly special in my eyes!!
Well, have to go now - the Bitster is trying to steal my wet food!!!
