Neko and Pumpkin were from the shelter, Cookie was a feral cat that we caught. She and a bunch of other cats lived outside my fiance's old job. Tama my abyssinian was given to me by a client at the vet's office where I work. When he was a kitten her husband accidentally stepped on his foot and fractured a bone so she had to bring him in every 2 weeks for a rebandage. Every time she brought him in, I wanted an aby more and more. It turned out that her son had violent allergic reactions to the cat and she knew that I loved abyssinians so she gave him to me. I hope to post pics soon of his little cast.
