I do not think you are crazy for thinking Ted sent you to Thumper. I think my RB Samo sent me Samantha and always have. It is like they leave little clues to let you know they sent them too... the "special things" that only they did. Sambo was a very clingy cat, the only clingy cat I ever had and Samantha is getting to be VERY clingy and just the fact that she sat on MY doorstep, begging to come in for 2 years, she KNEW she belonged here, not at that other house. I think Sambo led her here and told her this was where she was to live and to sit there any cry until I let her in. Give Thumper time and he is going to blossom with you like Samantha has with me.
