16 months ago I saw a little fella "Dexter" in the local paper who was up for adoption at a somewhat local shelter, and he looked like Simon a tuxedo and Sebastian a long hair Chantilly put together, and I thought how cool that would be to have him as a tribute to the two boys who had passed and also to give him a good home; but they wouldn't allow me to get him, when I called them I told them we had 8 cats already so they knew up front and they thought that was too many, and what about money if something happens etc., so I knew I wasn't going to get him and let it go, but before she hung up she did say "what you and your wife are doing is a good thing, perhaps one will come along who needs help more than him", and it was true, because I Googled "long haired tuxedo cats" and did get my boy Sylvester who was in a pretty bad situation and is doing great now, and he looks like a 50/50 blend of the two boys put together. But yesterday I got to thinking "I wonder what Dexter looks like now?" as they do put updated pictures on their website but had none of him even though he was adopted, so I called there and the woman said that she has seen him and he looked like the picture just bigger and chubbier, and I asked "does he have a black plume of a tail?" and she said "no", well Sebastian did and Sylvester does, so had I gotten Dexter instead he doesn't look all that much like Sebastian if he doesn't have the plume tail plus I also never would have gotten Sylvester and rescued him from a bad situation!
It's funny how things work out for the best sometimes!
