Your story sounds very familar to me!!!! Our dear Boo, just like you, demanded to be adopted by tapping me on the shoulder from her cage at the shelter. Cats certainly seem to KNOW to whom they want to live with!! You seem to have the house you live in at your command!!! Too bad we did not know of your prowless in vaulting!!! You would have been a Star of the recent Cat Olympics!!! Happy COTD!!
