These stories are a hoot! Chicago Debbie, what a funny idea!!
I don't have any funny stories really but I do know that hubby is now resigned to cats and like CCL's hubby, is a sucker for kittens.
Two years ago, the last of cats in our "geriatric ward" died - this was Missy's RB Ernie. We have always had 2-3 cats in the house. We went to PetsMart to adopt another adult cat as we had never had a kittens! There were these two tiny babies in a cage and so playful and friendly - he kept playing with the little gray furries while I checked out the older cats. He is the one who asked the girl about possibly adopting a kitten but was told that the two had to go together since the brother was so upset when they tried to foster them separately. Adopt TWO kittens? I don't know anything about kittens! Well yes, we came home with little Emily and Eliot - and oh what fun we had.
Well, my heart kitty had been a sweet orangie named Bert. I kept looking at orange cats on petfinder - even though hubby said NO MORE. heehee well I found this gorgeous and rather sad looking boy who lived at a shelter half way to Cincinnati. We went doen to "look" and maybe check out some other kitties. Out came Dylan and I picked him up - and he wound his big ole paws right around my neck:D A HUG!! Just like CCL's Peanut Butter!! I handed Dylan over to Dennis and again, the HUG!! So he says "why don't I just hold him while YOU fill in the paperwork?" That's how we got our sweet Dylan.
Then, kimlovescats had just started her rescue called Cats4Keeps. She posted pictures of pretty Josephine and her seven lil kittens and I so wanted a little tuxie boy that I saw! Dennis loved one of the calico girls. So, no new kitten for us right? Nope we had to get BOTH:D That was when we made our mini PT trip down through Kentucky and Tennessee to meet and visit CCL, jazzcat and kimlovescats! We brought home our babies and now Dennis is the biggest loving catdaddy I could imagine! What a pushover!! But when a kitty adores you like our babies adore Dennis - it is hopeless;) :p

Great stories everybody! Seems that if I want another kitty I should just "find" a kitten somewhere near home and let Terry think that he's the one to decide it's time for another cat. ;) :D
