I have three kitties: Shadow, Whisper, and Callie. My sister-in-law's cat gave birth to a litter of six-Shadow and Whisper included..and the two of them initially went to my sister-in-law's mother. After a year, her mom had to move and "couldn't" find a pet friendly house (even though they kept the dog) and that is how I ended up with the first two. I've now had them for four years.
Callie was found a month after my dad passed away when my husband saw a man throw something out of a truck. He thought it looked a little suspicious so he pulled over and the "garbage" ended up being a little six week old female orange kitten. Part of me still believes that she was a present sent to me from my dad--so I always refer to her as my "naughty angel." She's very naughty but a gift from heaven and we've had for almost four years.
