2 of my kitties (Kit - a large short haired orange male and Tiger a gorgeous maine coon mix) came from my sister in law........she was not good about getting her cats fixed in time and ended up having a few "accidental" litters. Of course I fell in love and had to have a kitten each time. One of them was very sick and I almost lost him as a kitten. He is very close to me now because of all that he went through I think.
Guppy, a quiet black/white tuxedo cat (male) was given to my husband by his sister-in-law as a Christmas Present. He was one crazy kitten! Literally.......he would hang off the little window at the top of the door and scream at the top of his lungs because he wanted out! He may have been given to my husband, but he is definitely "my boy" LOL. He curls up with me all the time and sleeps right next to me at night.
And last but not least is Baby. She has an actual story to go with her. She is a cat with bit of a cat-itude lol. My husband and I would visit a friend that lived near a rooming house. Well, one day we noticed this little kitten roaming around outside. Very friendly- loved everyone. Over the course of a month we watched her and my friend kept an eye on her. She was living under the dumpster and picking through it for food. It turns out someone in the rooming house left her to fend for herself. We were over my friends one day when someone tried to take her, we yelled out that she was ours to please put her down. They said they would drive her over to us......we said NO PUT HER DOWN! So the lady quickly put her down and peeled out. It was decided right then that she would be coming home with us. So we took her home. She sat on my lap purring the entire way.......looking out the window very curious. She is a very curious kitty always has to be involved whether its helping my husband use his tools or help me read my book lol. But dont irritate her, she'll smack you in the face with her "mittens". She has an extra toe.......so I guess she's polydactyl. Sometimes she'll even spray you with her anal glands if you make her really mad!!!!!! My husband and I have never had a cat like her. When we took her to the vet for her checkup she screamed bloody murder and the vet just tossed a cotton ball at her and she started purring like crazy playing with it and he gave her the shots and she didnt even notice. Anyway, those days spent over my friends house - she chose us......it was just a matter of time for us to realize it and bring her "home".
