AWWW CHEDDAR!!! I agree with the others that his expression is a heartbreaker. Poor little guy!

I know I've chimed in before about you getting another cat so I think you know what my opinion of getting Cheddar is, especially now since your daughter is ready.

As for hubby, I went through the same thing when I found Scout. He didn't want a third cat but she haunted me. She had a very sad story - had been abused by some boys until someone stepped in to rescue her, she was pregnant and it was terminated during spaying and then she suffered a hemmorage or something from the spay. Poor kitty didn't trust anyone, growled at most who touched her but there was just something about the look in her eyes that told me she was to be my cat. It took me about two weeks to convince hubby (with a lot of crying involved which I normally don't do). I asked the shelter to hold her for me but told them if anyone came in and really wanted her to adopt her out. They told me not to worry, she gets a few looks but never any takers, kind of like Cheddar. Anyway, now hubby even admits she belongs here and is probably our best behaved kitty. It's like she understands and is grateful. She rarely if ever messes with anything (except Ripley) or is destructive.

Okay, is that long winded enough?

Fingers crossed for you guys and Cheddar!
