Taffy, your 10 year old "Mom" obviously loves you very much; I'm sure you feel the same way about her. It sounds like you picked each other out that day, and now you are a wonderful family. Having a cat teaches you how to be very responsible, doesn't it? You do sound like a very mature young lady, and I hope you and Taffy have a long life together, loving each other and caring for each other. And Taffy, enjoy your very special day today!
