Thank you Connie, for the stories on your babies. I fully understand not trying too hard to find the original owners. I too, figured if they showed up at my house in such poor condition - someone out there didn't love them very much.

That was the situation with my beloved Magic. He was such a wonderful and loving boy - I kinda "whispered" around the neighborhood - anyone missing a black cat? I waited "two seconds" - got no answer - and he was MINE!

I do think that on some level they realize that they have been rescued, that I love them and they will always have a good home. They sure do pour on the love in return.

I just brushed all three of mine and the room is vibrating with all of the purring going on.

Connie - thanks again - each one of your kitties is a gift!! Please give them some loving from me.
