this is the most precious story ever! i have always marvelled at cats ability/unerring instinct to "choose" what is best.....and she knew.....and she came to you.....and she stayed....such love, such trust....oh, how i would love one of those kitties.....prolly, the one w/odd color eyes, like myself.....i loved the picture showing mom with her brood......congratulations 20-20 on being cotd!!!
