i'll make today's Question of the Day one that i can get posted quickly -- before little DeeDee (aka, Tadpole) creates more interesting situations on my computer using the keyboard! meanwhile our little Alison (aka, Nugget) is well into a nap on the cat tree.
so for Today's Question of the Day.........
How did your cat(s) come to join you/your family? (can be as simple or as detailed of an answer as you'd like)
i'll start!
my mickey and little snick were from a litter of kittens from a family that lived up the street. i was only going to adopt one kitten, but mickey knew he belonged with me too so insisted that he be adopted too! mickey was right, and my 'mini' was (and continues to be) the great love of my life -- my kitty 'soul mate'. my darling little snick was very very dear to me, my pretty and petite princess. both mickey and snick brought so much love and joy to my life, the life we shared together for many years.
these two new little 'spitfires' joined us (jaspurr and i), partly to (with time and careful integration) become companions for our jaspurr. and partly because i've always known that my mickey and snick would want for other cat(s) waiting for their furever home to be able to have the good home and love and caring that they enjoyed for so many years -- their legacy. i did a lot of looking and carefully selected deedee as a very good match for our jaspurr, for several reasons. little deedee is all black except for two little white spots -- one on her upper chest, and the other is a little bikini bottom shape on her lower tummy. our little allie just simply was 'meant to be', meant to join our family. she and deedee knew each other, were cared for by the same foster. allie just happened to be picked up from the vet's by their foster -- where she'd been brought in to comfort her litter mate sister. allie is a lovely mackerel tabby, who is also polydactyl on her front paws. both girls are very sweet and loving; they love to snuggle both people and cats! they're both just a handful of days over 4 1/2 months old now.
okay, now it's your turn!
