Pumpkin showed up on my back patio as a tiny kitten about 7 years ago and my Rottie wanted to eat her. (he'd never seen a cat before)

I saved her from the big, mean doggie and gave her to my friend who lived alone and was looking for a pet. She was a great cat and I wanted nothing more than to keep her but I couldn't. 2 years later, I married my "friend", so in a way I got to keep her anyway. I sometimes wonder why I could've just kept the cat without the marraige part.



We got Barclay from someone who had a sign for free kitties on the side of the road.
