D'oh! I forgot to post how my boys came to me!

My Aunt's cat, Petunia, had a litter. We went to a party at her house one weekend, and she said that the person who wanted him had backed out. Hubby said, NO NO NO NO, but to EVERYONE'S surprise, said yes as we were leaving! He said, "please make sure you get the girl cat. All males I've ever had have been sprayers." We grabbed what we thought was the girl, but oopsie, we grabbed the boy. I think he sucked everything in so that he could come home with us

As for Pouncer, we had accidentally found a kitten we wanted. We were NOT in the market for another pet, but this little thing was so sweet. We put out papers for him but they called us later and said we couldn't adopt him due to health issues. The next Saturday, we went back to Petco for another adoption event - since even though we weren't in the market for another cat, we had our hearts set on a new cat in our lives. I spoke to the rescue before going that Saturday and brought both my daughters; we were determiend to get an older cat and rescue him. Well, none of the adult cats said anything to me, except one who couldn't be homed with other cats. There was Jen's Mickey, but he was too scared, and there was a mama tabby and her daughter (which my daughter wanted) and a little black baby with a white diamond on the forehead (which my other daughter wanted.) Then there was Pouncer. I never even gave the other cats a second look once I saw him. It was love at first sight. I sat on pins and needles for a week until the adoption was approved and Jen gave her favorite foster kitten to me!!!
