It was twenty years ago today, that I went to the shelter to adopt my first cat. I was looking at all the cages of cats, when suddenly, I felt a tap-tap on my shoulder. Reaching out of the cage, was a white tortie, called Tiger Lily. She had ran away from her home, the other cats were beating her up. The owners did not want her back!!! I asked to meet with her in the " Get Acquainted Room," where she proceed to bite me!!! I told the shelter worker, that I realized the cat was a bit stressed, and adopted her!! The next stop was a vet visit. The vet asked me if this was my first cat. I said yes. And she told me to " Take her back!!!(and we still go to the same vet)." She was not a cat for the first time owner!!! The cat came home, and renamed Miss BooBoo Kitty, Boo was my best friend and teacher until she left for the Bridge on 5/11/04, at the age of 16, from kidney disease!! Boo, you know I think about you every day, and miss you!!! Sleep softly, my sweet Boo....
